The Business Owner Who Couldn't Stop Doing Everyone Else's Job
About this episode
This episode explores the challenges of busyness as an identity and the dynamics between leaders and their teams.
A client showed up early to do a job that wasn't his anymore. Nobody asked him to. He couldn't stop himself. In this episode I break down what was running underneath that habit: busyness as identity, the quiet competitiveness that creeps in between a leader and their own team, and the four-word framework I now use for saying a hard thing without softening it into nothing. If you've ever done someone else's job before they had the chance, stayed visibly busy so nobody would question whether you were working, or softened feedback because you needed to stay the good guy in the room, this one's for you. In this episode: Why busyness becomes an identity, not just a schedule The quiet competitiveness that shows up between a leader and their own team A four-word framework for saying a hard thing without softening it into nothing Book a Mental Performance Blueprint Call at tomfoxley.me.
