Are you too available for your team?

Aug 14, 2024

Many leaders think that being "always available" is the hallmark of effective leadership. But here’s the reality: being constantly available isn’t just a distraction—it’s a career killer.

To be a high-impact leader, you need to focus on what really matters. Set strong boundaries, protect your energy, and be intentional with your focus. Leadership isn’t about being everyone’s go-to—it’s about driving results and moving the needle in a big way.

It’s not just okay to say no—it’s necessary. When you react to every request:

  • You dilute your focus and creativity with endless interruptions.
  • You get sucked into the day-to-day grind, missing the strategic vision that leaders are supposed to deliver.
  • You work longer hours, yet feel like you’re getting nowhere.
  • You end up stalling your career progression and wondering why you’re not moving up the ladder.

Here’s how to shift gears and lead with authority:

  1. Allocate specific times to address requests and stick to them. You’ll be amazed how many problems resolve themselves without you.
  2. Master the Art of No: Saying no isn’t about shutting people down—it’s about empowering them to find solutions. 
  3. Stay Laser-Focused on Your Role Purpose: Helping others is great, but don’t lose sight of the work that truly drives results.
