Ep 159 – When Being the Problem Solver Becomes a Problem

Influence & Impact for female leaders

It feels good to be able to solve the problems people bring to you. It makes you feel needed and helpful and you can tangibly see the value you’re adding. But it comes at a cost which could be holding back your career and hindering the growth of your team members

In this episode I’m going to share…

• Why being the problem solver could be holding you back in your career

• How to elevate your level of working and empower your team

• How to analyse why your team are relying on you to solve their problems

• What you can do to empower your team to become problem solvers

• How to retrain your team to think for themselves using one of my favourite questions

This is the Influence & Impact podcast for women leaders, helping you confidently navigate the ups and downs of leadership and feel less alone on your journey as a leader.
