When being always available quietly becomes a trap you built

My team has my personal cell, and they use it — nights, weekends, holidays, whenever. I told myself this was good leadership, being there for them no matter what. But now my phone never really goes quiet, they've stopped solving anything without me, and I've boxed myself into a corner I built with my own hands.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You made yourself always reachable and now have no boundary and a team that can't function without you.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
