Leaders often grip control tightly because they fear being blamed for failure. The antidote isn't better systems but reconnecting with yourself and building confidence that your team can handle decisions without you micromanaging every move.
One of the reasons why I see so many leaders step into things that they have no business stepping into is a huge need for control. Because as the person, they're like, I'm responsible for performance, I'm responsible for execution, and if I don't do that, it's going to get messed up and it's going to come to me. How did you satisfy that hunger or that fear?
That was a huge fear, and I know exactly what you're talking about. And I have some clients right now that I'm working with that have this going on. It's so common. And for me, it was just, it was almost like re-getting to know myself and saying and being confident and being good enough and not having to do that extra bit to have that control or be that one to make the decision.
