In this episode, Chris and Josh explore the common problem leaders experience when they wonder “Hmm, maybe I’m the problem.” They unpack a few indicators that can confirm your role in holding things up, and offer helpful suggestions on determining what’s most important for the business, for the team, and when it might be time for you to just get a hobby. Remember, you’re not alone. This is a common challenge. When you’re ready for some self-exploration, listen in here.
TAKEAWAYS!
A few things to look for: If work is piling up around you, big hint. If you aren’t available and things are happening faster than usual or people hold back when you ask for their perspective, this can be another indicator that you may be a bottleneck.
When a leader perceives this problem to be true, it may be time to explore how you’re feeling valued in your organization.
To open up the bottleneck, you can start thinking with end in mind. Start with questions like, What would I do if I have to punch out for awhile? Who is the understudy - either person or process - that can cover the gap?
It might be time to do an “ego-ectimy.” The longer you hold onto things you may need to let go of, the longer you’re impacting the team. What’s your responsibility to create stewards beyond you?
