Greg Stevenson realized he was slowing his team by solving every problem himself, teaching them to depend on him rather than think independently. He shifted from being the answer to creating space for solutions to emerge from anyone. The question: what are you doing just because you're good at it?
There was a point in my own business where I could not work out why everything felt slow. Every decision came to me. Every problem waited for my answer. I thought I was being a responsible leader. I was actually being the bottleneck. Every time I solved something myself, I quietly taught my team not to. I was building dependence and calling it help. The day that landed, it changed how I led for good. My job was never to have every answer. It was to build a place where the best answer could come from anyone in the room. So here's a question for you. What are you still holding on to just because you are good at it?
