When Accountability Becomes Over-Responsibility

Accountability does not equal taking responsibility for everyone and everything. But many leaders are burning out because they take responsibility for everything.In this episode, I explore the fine line between compassion and enabling, and why caring deeply doesn’t mean carrying indefinitely.I share how over-functioning in leaders often creates under-functioning in others, and how to recognise when responsibility needs to be transferred back to another adult.Join me on June 25 for a FREE Endures pause & reset https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter - Rotary Club of Empowering Women & Girls, July 14th meeting. Beyond the Peak: My keynote live in Cairns, in aid of the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.
