Letting go of responsibility is not something that comes natural for me.

I score high on Command in the StrengthsFinders assessment.

I have to discipline myself to let go…

And still…if no progress is taking place…I will make something happen…I promise.

The problem is that when I take over and refuse to let others in the organization lead…even at the risk that they will not complete it on my time schedule or the way I might have done it:

• I keep myself from doing other things
• I fail to provide growth opportunities for others.
• I limit the organization from reaching it’s full potential

Leaders, if you believe in the concept of teamwork…sometimes you have to let go and let others take the lead.

What do you need to let go of and quit trying to control?

I know…I know…it’s hard to do. Leave me a comment…It will help hold you accountable.
