Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep staring at the big result hoping it moves, but it’s out of my hands day to day
- What I love is taking a vague idea and grinding it into something done and shipped
- I’m spreading myself so thin across everything that nothing gets real traction
- Every day the urgent fires of just running things swallow my whole calendar, and the important goal I actually care about never gets touched because there’s always something screaming louder than it.
- My team only performs when I’m watching, and I keep bolting on more rules to control it, which just makes everything rigid
