A 10-minute exercise for managers
How to identify the subconscious belief that's been running your leadership in 10 minutes
The conversation you keep putting off isn't a skills problem. There's a belief underneath it, and it's been making the call for you.

Show me the stepsEvery pattern you repeat as a leader has a belief underneath it
You know the one. It looks something like this.
01
The staff member you keep letting off the hook
You notice it. You make a mental note. Then you fix it yourself and say nothing.
02
The work you keep taking back
You said you'd delegate it. Then it was quicker to just do it yourself. Again.
03
The meeting where you go quiet
You had something to say. You nodded along instead, and kicked yourself on the drive home.
None of that is a skills gap. It's a belief you've been leading from without realising.
You've probably tried to fix it by trying harder. It keeps coming back because you've been working on the behaviour, not what's driving it.
