377: Why Your Team Keeps Asking You Everything

Are you constantly interrupted by team members asking for your approval, decisions, or advice, even though you’ve already trained them? Are all these interruptions pushing your highest-priority work further down the list? Too many leaders end up stuck in a cycle of being the go-to problem solver, always available and drowning in distractions, while their business’s real growth gets put on hold.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing why teams remain so dependent, even when you think you’ve done enough training. I explore the critical difference between task training and true leadership development, with some real-life examples of clients who’ve managed to break free from the exhaustion of micromanagement. 

I’ll walk you through what it takes to stop holding everyone’s hand, set up systems and accountability, and actually nurture leaders, not just doers with titles.

If you’re not taking time off because you think the business will fall apart, hit play now.
