If you’re being asked a work-related question, magic often happens when you don’t respond.
People figure it out.
People find elsewhere to find the reassurance.
People assume agency and keep things moving.
You don’t have to respond to everything the second you get it.
Magic happens for you when you don’t, too.
There’s mental space for ideas to form.
There’s focus on what’s in front of you.
There’s freedom from the weight of feeling like you are truly needed.
That is the goal of a leader: to inform and empower others to not need you; so you can move to the next space that people need you, and so on.
Stay Positive & Give It 15 Min Before Responding
