‘My people aren’t stepping up, so I have to be more directive. But when I do, they feel disempowered, and then I have to take even more control.’

I hear it all the time.

It’s a frustrating cycle. You want your team to take initiative, solve problems, and think independently.

But when they don’t, you feel like you have no choice but to step in. And the more you step in, the less they take ownership.

So how do you break this pattern? How do you lead in a way that empowers your people while ensuring accountability?

In this episode, I’ll unpack why this cycle happens, the leadership traps that cause it, and—most importantly—how to build a team that takes real ownership without having to micromanage.
