Being a great manager doesn't require you to be a hero.  But you might slip into that mindset.  

It can look like perfectionism, and anxiety about how others see you.  

It leads to overworking, isolating, and being overly responsible.  

It also creates a lot of pressure, feeling like everything is on your shoulders and it's up to you to keep everything together (no mistakes allowed!).  

In this episode, you'll learn more about why the hero mindset is easy to slip into, and how it will hold you back from being an effective leader.  You'll also learn why seeing yourself as a whole human is the key to managing yourself and your own wellbeing.  Let's discuss!

The book referenced in this episode is Persephone Returns by Tanka Wilkinson
