Do you feel like you need to be available at all hours to lead effectively?
Many emerging leaders believe this, but it’s a misconception.
Always being “on” drains your energy, leaving you with little capacity for the strategic thinking needed to truly lead.
Effective leaders understand the importance of setting boundaries. It’s not about always being present; it’s about being present at the right moments.
Your energy and focus are your greatest assets—don’t waste them on every minor distraction.
And always having the answer ready creates dependencies, lowers your team’s sense of ownership and problem-solving skills.
Step back.
Focus on the bigger picture.
That’s how you lead with impact.
