Everyday looks something like:Â
-
 You’re drowning in demands. The workload is piling up faster than your team can handle, and you’re stuck trying to decide what actually matters—and what to say no to.
-
Getting anything done feels impossible. Endless meetings, sign-offs, fire drills, and unexpected issues are constantly derailing progress and keeping you in reactive mode.
-
 You’re stuck in survival mode. Balancing the day-to-day grind with building structure feels overwhelming, and you’re unsure where to even start.
-
Your team wants clarity but resists change. They crave direction and consistency, yet when you try to build processes and define roles, they resist what they know.
-
You’re torn between leading and doing. You know you need to focus on strategy and building your team, but you don’t trust that work will actually get done without you in the trenches.
Your 3 Key Focus Areas
Relentlessly Protect Your Team's Time
Your team’s time is spread too thin across a million competing priorities. Everything feels urgent, and it’s impossible to say no, leaving your team burned out and overwhelmed. You’re doing everything to keep up, but the work isn’t driving meaningful results.
Your main focus should be protecting your team’s time and energy by prioritizing the work that only they can do—the work that creates the most impact.
Ask yourself: What work can ONLY our team do? Consider your unique viewpoint, historical knowledge, access to data, unique connections, or cultural alignment. What makes YOU irreplaceable?
Start saying no to anything that doesn’t align with your team’s unique purpose.
With Them, Not to Them
Your team craves structure but resists it when you try to implement it. You’ve likely added systems or processes to regain control, but it’s slowing things down and causing more frustration because the changes don’t address their real pain points.
Your focus should be building structure with your team, not for them. When they help identify what’s broken, they’re more invested in the solutions and more willing to adapt.
Bring your team together and ask: Where is the lack of clarity or structure making your job harder? What’s the one system or process we could fix to make things easier?
Vote on the top 2-3 issues and collaborate on simple, practical fixes.
Empowerment Through Clarity
You’re doing most of the work because it feels easier than delegating. You don’t fully trust your team to step up, and they probably don’t trust themselves either. Without clear expectations or systems, they’re hesitant to take ownership, which keeps everything landing back on you.
Your focus should be empowering your team to own their work by providing clear expectations and defining what success looks like.
Ask your team: What makes you feel confident about taking ownership in your role? What’s makes it harder for you to take ownership?
Use their answers to create clarity around roles, responsibilities, and outcomes. Then, step back and let them lead while you provide support.
Your Team is Only as Good as the System it Operates in
Even the most talented team will struggle if they’re stuck in a clunky, disorganized system. Without clear priorities, smooth workflows, and a structure that empowers them, your team’s potential—and yours as a leader—will always be capped. The grind you’re feeling isn’t because your team isn’t capable—it’s because the system they’re working in is holding them back.
