Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My team only performs when I’m watching, and I keep bolting on more rules to control it, which just makes everything rigid
- A week or two in it still costs me everything to keep going and feels no easier, and I take that early grind as proof this just isn’t for me, right before it would have started getting lighter.
- I stand up and tell my team what we value, but I’ve started to wonder whether my own choices actually match the words
- I’m supposed to rally my team behind a directive I don’t actually understand or believe in myself, and they can feel the hollowness in how I deliver it
- On the good days I do everything, but the second I’m tired or flat the whole thing collapses
