As a business owner , I spent initial years being the person everyone came to for every decision at Genetech Solutions, and I thought that made me a good leader. It actually just meant nothing moved without me. Real leadership showed up once I started letting people make calls without checking in first, even when a few of those calls went differently than I would have made them.
Such an important distinction, Shamim. Being needed for every decision can feel like strong leadership, when often it means we have accidentally made ourselves the bottleneck. Letting people make their own calls, even when they do things differently, is such a huge part of building a capable and confident team. Thanks for sharing this 🙌🏻
Solid list.
