Could your well-intended servant leadership be hurting your team instead of helping them? In this episode, we dive into the unexpected dark side of servant leadership—how constantly stepping in can create dependency, stifle initiative, and even lead to leader burnout. We’ll explore why some teams develop learned helplessness, why today’s complex healthcare environment demands a different leadership approach, and what you can do to strike the right balance. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing too much for your team but don’t know how to stop, this episode is for you. Let’s rethink leadership—without throwing the baby out with the bathwater!
