In organizations big and small, leaders often find themselves stuck in a cycle of hard work that yields little meaningful progress. Teams stagnate, growth plateaus, and despite increased effort, the results fall short. The core issue? Too often, the leader is the main bottleneck, unintentionally stifling progress, innovation, and capacity within their team. This episode looks directly at that hard truth, exploring the reasons leaders become bottlenecks—whether through perfectionism, lack of delegation, or hero-complexes—and how to reverse these tendencies for the sake of team and organizational growth.
Understanding how leaders self-sabotage isn’t about assigning blame; it’s about recognizing patterns that restrict capacity, building awareness, and embracing new mindsets and techniques to unlock genuine progress. By making practical mindset shifts and applying actionable frameworks, leaders can transform from being a constraint on their team's success to becoming a true force multiplier, enabling others and building resilient, high-performing teams.
