​Most leaders don’t set out to do it all!

But over time something subtle happens.

Problems stop getting solved, and start getting escalated. Decisions stop being made, and start getting deferred. Projects stop moving, unless you push them. Follow-through stops belonging to the team, and becomes your job. Little by little, responsibility drifts upward.

Until one day you realize your leadership role looks like this:

• Putting out fires all day
• Answering questions adults should answer themselves
• Carrying the load for the entire organization
• Chasing people to do what they said they would do

And the most frustrating part?

You’re not the problem.

The system quietly trained this to happen.
