‘My people aren’t stepping up, so I have to be more directive. But when I do, they feel disempowered, and then I have to take even more control.’
I hear it all the time.
It’s a frustrating cycle. You want your team to take initiative, solve problems, and think independently.
But when they don’t, you feel like you have no choice but to step in. And the more you step in, the less they take ownership.
So how do you break this pattern? How do you lead in a way that empowers your people while ensuring accountability?
In this episode, I’ll unpack why this cycle happens, the leadership traps that cause it, and—most importantly—how to build a team that takes real ownership without having to micromanage.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
