Get Your Sanity Back Without Sacrificing Your Performance
I would regularly be called into meetings, or asked to prepare things that were the responsibilities of my people.
They weren’t asking for help, they were asking me to DO things for them. To take it off their plate and put it on mine.
It pulled me away from the things I really needed or wanted to work on and it made me feel like I was squandering my time and their talent.
It also eroded relationships and I'd take home resentment and frustration most weeks.
When I learned how to hold people accountable, I learned how to make them do their own jobs, and much to my surprise, they liked it!
They didn’t need me as much, they were empowered and motivated to do it themselves, and our relationship improved.
