When Letting them Fail Feels like You're Failing.
Description
In this episode of the Confident Woman Lead Podcast, host Anita Miller addresses the guilt leaders often feel when their team members fail, particularly focusing on the unique pressures faced by women and black women. Anita explores the misconception that letting others fail reflects poorly on one's leadership and introduces a shift in perspective from control to capacity building. She emphasizes that true leadership involves allowing team members to experience the consequences of their actions within a structured framework, leading to growth and autonomy. Anita encourages leaders to stop over-functioning and to foster an environment where their teams can develop resilience and self-leadership. This approach, she argues, not only prevents burnout but also paves the way for scalable, effective leadership.
