Why can't someone else step up and do this? How come I'm always the one who has to do everything? What more do I have to do before someone finally takes some initiative? If you've ever asked yourself these questions—or just quietly felt them—you're not alone. That heavy sense of responsibility, the emotional and cultural weight of having to carry your team day after day, will wear you down. And if you don't have a plan to offload that burden and bring others into ownership, it's only a matter of time before burnout sets in. But what do you do when some team members aren't exactly charismatic—or worse, seem like they're only halfway committed? This episode hits close to home, pulled straight from a challenge one of our mentoring clients has been facing for years. It's also something Brett knows firsthand. In this episode, we'll cover: The main shortcoming of servant-based leadership, and how to overcome it How to diagnose energy leaks in your ecosystem before they push you into burnout The 3 types of energy brokers on your team—and how to actually get contributions from each How to create a system of shared ownership and delegate tasks based on real strengths Leading strategically by removing barriers and making sure you're not the one holding the team back You Do Everything for Everyone. It's Time to Reset. This September, we're hosting a retreat in Phoenix, AZ—built for those who carry it all. Ten years in the making, this event is designed to give you tools to slow down, recalibrate, and breathe again.
