#163: Team Members Relying On You Too Much? Try This


Listen Later

It’s natural for team members to need your support, but when it happens too often, it can be a real drag on your time.

However, it’s not useful to lay the blame at their feet.

Leadership behaviour is a major factor in how people behave, so the question should be asked – are you setting up the right conditions for your people to be self-sufficient?

In this episode, I look at some strategies to help your people fend for themselves rather than using you as a crutch to lean on.

Apply For Your Complimentary Coaching Session

I invite you to a complimentary Discovery Coaching Session, where we will:

  • Get clear on your most important goals and what is most important to you
  • Identify blockers and limiting beliefs that are holding you back; and
  • Develop key actions you can take to move forward and make progress.

You will leave the Discovery Coaching Session with a sense of clarity, purpose and practical steps to move you forward.

There is no obligation to pursue further coaching after this session - but many people do!
