Thinker & Stark
Have you ever wondered if the urge to control every detail is what pushes a leader to win, or if it’s actually the root of their own hesitation?
If you’re a leader, you win by making decisions, not by obsessing over every tiny detail. That control is the engine, not the brake. It keeps you on target and stops hesitation from creeping in. If you start giving it up, you’ll lose the edge.
It’s true that a steady hand can keep a ship on course, but sometimes the wind needs a little leeway to change direction before it’s too late. The real test is when you can trust the journey, not just the navigation.
You're right about leeway, but only if the crew can handle it. My job is to set the course and keep the ship on track. Trust is built on competence, not on giving up control.
You’re right that competence earns trust, but consider that a crew who feels too tightly guided may never learn to steer themselves; a leader’s skill is also measured by how well they can let the crew navigate once the ship is on course.
