The Dickie & Donny Show Ep 19: Are you OVERfunctioning in leadership?

from My Business On Purpose

Is your leadership running at full speed… but your energy running on empty? In this episode of The Dickie & Donny Show, Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray dig into a silent leadership killer—overfunctioning systems—and how they quietly drain your capacity, weaken your team, and leave you teetering on the edge of burnout. Are you stepping in to fix problems your team could solve? Do you feel more like the "firefighter" than the leader? Is your health, patience, or focus starting to crack under pressure? Through the vivid metaphor of a dying tree—rotting roots, brittle branches, and all—you'll learn how overfunctioning takes root in leadership, the warning signs you can't afford to ignore, and the simple shifts that restore both your capacity and your team's growth. From the 83% rule of delegation to building structured systems that run without constant supervision, this conversation is your guide to stepping back—without letting things fall apart. Don't miss the insights, stories, and real-world strategies that could save you from burnout before it's too late.
