How Many Decisions Still Depend on You?
Oct 08, 2026
Here’s a leadership test:
How far into your organization can someone make a good decision without asking you first?
If every important decision eventually comes back to you, you haven’t built leadership capacity.
You’ve built dependency.
Today, listen for:
“Can I…?”
“Should we…?”
“What do you want me to do?”
Before answering, ask:
“What do you think we should do?”
Sometimes the fastest way to develop another leader is to stop being so quick to lead for them.
Give one decision back today.
