It’s a question that every leader must face often again and again. The instinct to hold on tight is understandable. It feels efficient. It feels safe. After all, you know how to do it, and it might seem faster to just handle it yourself. But here’s the truth: control is a growth killer.
Too many leaders fall into the trap of “It’s just easier if I do it.” But easier isn’t better. Easier doesn’t develop your people. Easier doesn’t expand your impact.
When you choose growth over control, you create space for others to struggle, discover, and solve. That’s where real learning happens. That’s where capability is built. And that’s how you shift from being the hero to building a team of heroes.
You’re not there to do it all. You’re there to grow others into leaders themselves.
