We say yes too easily. Often these ideas sound good but steal our focus.
Clarity demands editing, not adding.
Before you agree to the next thing, ask yourself:
Does this align with my purpose?
Does this move my mission forward?
What will this yes cost me?
Stop adding. Start editing.

Leaders often confuse exhaustion with commitment. But exhaustion doesn’t inspire anyone. True leadership bandwidth comes from focus, delegation, and recovery. My new article unpacks how to build capacity that lasts.

Expanding Your Leadership Bandwidth Without Burning Out
Leadership is a constant balancing act. The demands of the role rarely shrink, and more often than not, they grow. At first, you might convince yourself you can manage by working harder - arriving earlier, staying later, skipping breaks, pushing through weekends. But eventually, the cracks show. Decisions drag. Creativity dries up. Even the smallest request feels like too much. Expanding your leadership bandwidth isn’t about cramming more into your day. It’s about using your capacity differently

Too many leaders celebrate resilience as proof of strength, when it’s really proof of strain. If your team is constantly rebuilding, it may not be about their ability to recover but about the way you lead.

When leaders carry every burden, they deny their teams the chance to grow. Over-functioning feels helpful in the moment, but it creates dependency. The real test of leadership is whether your people can thrive without you. Step back. Build systems. And let your team grow.

Most leaders don’t realize that doing it all actually makes them less effective.
It drains your energy, limits your perspective, and blocks others from stepping up.
Leadership isn’t about carrying everything.
It’s about creating space for others to lead.

Think about the last big task you held onto.
Did it really need to be you?
Or could it have been someone else’s opportunity to step up?
Delegation isn’t giving work away. It’s giving growth away.

The Myth of Doing It All: Why Delegation is a Leader Superpower
For far too long, leadership has been equated with carrying the weight of everything yourself. The image of the tireless leader - always available, always problem-solving, always “in control” - is celebrated in some circles as the gold standard. But here’s the truth: doing it all doesn’t make you a stronger leader. It makes you a tired one.The myth of “doing it all” is not only unsustainable, it is dangerous. Leaders who cling to every responsibility become bottlenecks. They burn out. Their tea
