High-Performance Leaders often jump in to “help” by doing the work themselves. Sounds noble, right? Except it hijacks your team, erodes trust, and turns you into the bottleneck. In this episode, Cathy and Ivan unpack the autopilot habit of “helping by doing,” why it feels so natural (spoiler: dopamine hits), and how to shift into shaping, equipping, and multiplying your team’s performance.

You’ll learn:
 • Why “I’ll just take care of that” kills leadership credibility
 • How hijacking by doing undermines trust and growth
 • Practical phrases and behaviors to stop solving and start shaping
