When you ask your own team for permission to lead

On the last call I turned a decision that was clearly mine into a question for the team. Does that sound okay to everyone? I heard myself say. I'm so scared of stepping on toes that I keep handing my own authority to the people I'm supposed to be leading.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're so afraid of overstepping that you ask your own team's permission for calls that are yours.

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