112. Getting past the hero mindset.

from The New Manager Podcast Hosted by Kim Nicol

Being a great manager doesn't require you to be a hero. But sometimes I see my clients slip into that mindset. It often looks like perfectionism, and anxiety about how others see you. It leads to overworking, isolating, and being overly responsible. It also creates a lot of pressure, feeling like everything is on your shoulders and it's up to you to keep everything together (no mistakes allowed!). In this episode, you'll learn more about why the hero mindset is easy to slip into, and how it will hold you back from being an effective leader. You'll also learn why seeing yourself as a whole human is the key to managing yourself and your own wellbeing.
