For many leaders, the instinct to fix is deeply ingrained.
Fix the problem. Fix the person. Fix the situation.
In his new blog, Tom McDougal reflects on a powerful truth he learned over decades in healthcare leadership: over-functioning drains leaders and prevents others from growing.
Sometimes the most effective leadership move is to pause, manage your response, and let others step into the work.

For most of my career, I believed that being a good leader meant fixing things: fixing problems, fixing people, and fixing situations that felt unfair, inefficient, or out of my control. If something went wrong, my instinct was to step in, straighten it out, and make sure it didn’t happen again.

Most of us don’t need anyone else to be hard on us.
We do that well enough ourselves.
In his new column, Quint Studer challenges us to start the year differently—by being kind to ourselves.
