What Needs Pruning?
The most successful leaders aren't asking what else they need to add to their plate. They're asking what no longer needs to remain within their control.
Many leaders build their careers by being capable. They solve problems, carry responsibility, and consistently deliver results. Over time, it's easy for that way of leading to become part of how they see themselves.
The challenge is that what helped create success in one season can quietly limit impact in the next.
If you're like many of the leaders I work with, you're focused on strengthening your team, improving culture, increasing influence, and achieving meaningful goals. Those are important conversations.
But there may be another question worth asking:
What am I still carrying that no longer belongs to me?
Sometimes the greatest barrier to growth isn't a lack of strategy. It's a blind spot. A responsibility, belief, decision, or expectation that has become so familiar we no longer think to question it.
Healthy growth often requires pruning. Not because something is wrong, but because something more is possible.
