Why Do I Keep Stepping Back In?
from The Pause Before You Lead · host Heather Haigh & Alicia Saint
You delegate. You build a capable team. You genuinely want others to take ownership. So why do you keep stepping back in?In this solo episode of The Pause Before You Lead, Heather explores a pattern she noticed in her own leadership while working with her virtual assistant. Despite intentionally delegating work she no longer wanted to own, she found herself repeatedly getting involved again. Rather than assuming the problem was someone else, she paused to ask a different question:What's happening in me that's causing me to keep stepping in? As you listen, consider this question:Where might I accidentally be teaching my team that everything still needs to come through me? If you've ever found yourself saying, "It's just faster if I do it," this conversation is for you.
