Rolling Up Your Sleeves is Harming Your Team. Here’s Why!

Jun 02, 2022

Most high achievers tend to go the extra mile. 

And if you are anything like that, you know it takes hard work and often blood, sweat and tears to get where you want to be.

Every day you need to take the bull by the horns to get results.

And let’s face it, if you want to get stuff done it’s so much easier to just do it yourself. 

Because, if you do things yourself, it gets done, on time and in the correct way!

Win-win for all!

Except, it’s not.

If you think that being a hands-on boss is helping your team, and business, think again.

Every time you roll up your sleeves and do something, you’re actually denying your people the chance to improve.

To get real good at mastering a skill.

To get the best out of themselves and grow, under your leadership.

Instead of rolling up your sleeves, you should delegate tasks, empower your people to do things that are maybe out of their comfort zone and let them learn from their mistakes. 

Therefore, instead of doing stuff yourself so you know it gets done properly, bring your team along the journey and help them grow in their role so they can contribute to the team's success .

So instead of them becoming dependent on you as their leader and becoming complacent or giving you mediocre work, they'll end up taking more responsibility for their actions and taking ownership of whatever they do. 

A good and effective leader knows how to create an effective team, as well. So bring your team to do the work, learn and grow altogether along the way, and you’ll find greater success at the end of the day.
