I used to be such a people-pleaser. As a new manager, for example, I would go out of my way to solve everyone's problems.
I used to wear that as a badge of honor.
I was the manager who was always available, putting out everyone's fire, and being "the hero".
But as my guest Angela Davies shares in the latest episode of Unstuck...
Being in "hero mode" serves our ego.
We like to feel needed.
We like to feel important.
And we're also taking away the opportunity for others to grow, develop, and learn.
As leaders, we need to let others figure out how to solve their own problems.
This was an incredible conversation about motivation, people-pleasing, and prioritizing what's most important.
So grateful to Angela Davies for sharing her wisdom on the show! π
