I once heard someone say that a leader can either have control of their team or growth on their team, but not both. While I don't believe the two are entirely mutually exclusive, there is an undeniable connection between the two. The more control we release, the more opportunity for growth.

Admittedly, I struggle with this. I love to have control—at work, at home…everywhere. Sadly, the impact is rather negative: it drives people crazy, demotivates them, adds more to my plate, inhibits others from learning, and more. So this week’s Two-Minute Tip is as much for me as it is for you.

I’ve been trying to find small ways to release control and allow for more growth. In this video, I share a recent example that was a win-win for all involved. It’s all in the baby steps, folks. Join me! The people in our care deserve it.
