Why Smart Leaders Freeze, Snap, or Overcommit... and How to Change It | Women Entrepreneur
The last training I attended as an employee is the reason I walked away from a six figure salary and 14 weeks of vacation.
It was two hours on how to read a color coded report. Thirty of us sat together to learn something a child could figure out: red means alert, yellow means proceed with caution, green means good to go. Meanwhile our inboxes were overflowing and our desks were buried.
And here's what I need you to know. I respected these leaders. They were kind, caring, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about the work we did together. So why would they spend the only two hours of real collaboration we had that month on the obvious?
Because overwhelmed people reach for what feels safe. A simple training you can manage start to finish is safe. Naming the actual overload we were all under, the workload none of us could get ahead of is hard because there is no easy fix for it. That is not bad leadership. It is a nervous system under strain doing the most logical thing it knows, which is to shrink the problem down to something it can control.
