"𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀."

"𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀."

One email. That's all Agnieszka (𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥) sent before leaving for two weeks.

Family emergency. No warning. No long handover notes. No detailed instructions.

The old Agnieszka would have panicked and stayed up all night writing backup plans.

This time? One sentence and trust.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲:

Her team landed a new client. The one she'd been trying to get for six months. Their proposal was different from what she would have done.

It was better.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀.

It's the great ideas you'll never see because your team thinks "different" means "wrong."

It's the future leaders who won't grow because they never got to try and fail.

It's the smart solutions that never happen because "the boss will just redo it anyway."

During our coaching session, Agnieszka said: "It wasn't about quality at all. It was about me. If I wasn't the person who knew everything, who was I?"

She was referrring to her "old" micromanager self.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

Not delegation tricks. It's changing how you see yourself.

𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 "𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀" 𝘁𝗼 "𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀" 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁.

You're not doing all the work anymore. You're the one planning it. And good planners don't build everything—they create space for others to build something amazing.

What are you still fixing that isn't yours to fix?
