Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• What I love is taking a vague idea and grinding it into something done and shipped
• I keep forcing myself to lead the way I think a leader is supposed to, even when it cuts against my grain, and I can’t actually name what I’m naturally good at
• Where I come alive is in the human glue
• I’m at my best when I’m getting a room aligned and fired up
• My team only performs when I’m watching, and I keep bolting on more rules to control it, which just makes everything rigid

Practices that may help

1. Lead from the executing domain — deliver on goals consistently
   People strong in executing know how to take an idea and make it happen.
   Strengths-Based Leadership, Made Practical
2. Identify your dominant leadership strengths — and lead from them

3. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)
   The 4 Disciplines of Execution (McChesney, Covey & Huling) is an organizational strategy framework built around four practices: focus on a wildly important goal, act on lead measures, keep a compelling scoreboard, and create a cadence of accountability. Evidence is primarily organizational case studies and observational data; controlled trials on the framework as a whole are limited, but the individual components (implementation intentions, feedback loops, social accountability) have broader research support.
4. Lead from the relationship building domain — hold the team together
   People strong in relationship building are the glue that holds a team’s cohesion under pressure.

5. Lead from the influencing domain — take charge, speak up, make sure others are heard
   People strong in influencing sell the team’s ideas inside and outside the organization.

8. Extreme Ownership, Made Practical
   Extreme Ownership, from Navy SEAL officers Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, says the leader owns everything in their world — outcomes, mistakes, and the performance of the team — with no excuses and no blame passed down. It is a battlefield-tested practitioner model, not a lab-tested intervention: the mechanisms are sound, the evidence is experiential.
9. Believe — and make the why clear
   You cannot lead people toward a mission you do not understand or believe in yourself.

10. Reciprocate when your leader invests in you
    When a leader gives you trust, opportunity, or advocacy, close the loop with visible follow-through.
