I was having lunch with a fellow CEO recently, and he looked completely wiped out. He told me he was stuck in this exhausting cycle—constantly trying to empower his leaders to own their roles, only to have to step back in and make the decisions himself.

He said, “Rick, I feel like I’m constantly telling my people to take the wheel, to be accountable, but the minute things get tough, they throw the keys back at me!

I want them to ‘own their box,’ but I’m terrified of them ‘drowning.’ I keep double-checking their work, and then they just shut down and say, ‘Well, you just make the decision then.’ I’m back to having everything on my plate.”

When I asked him what this was costing him, he said, “Time, trust, and growth.”
