Many leaders struggle not because they lack skill or work ethic, but because they are still operating from a doer identity in a leadership role.
In this episode, we explore why being great at execution can actually hold leaders back and how identity mismatch shows up as micromanagement, exhaustion, and stalled growth. This conversation is especially relevant for solo leaders preparing to hire and leaders already managing a team who feel like everything still depends on them. This episode challenges the idea that leadership means doing more and reframes leadership as designing clarity, workflows, and capacity so the work does not depend on you.
You do not need to stop caring or lower your standards.
You need to stop being the center of execution.
If this episode feels uncomfortably accurate, you are likely at a leadership transition point.
