The Next Big Idea

NOTE

Empowerment through Letting Go

Effective parenting and leadership require a shift from over-functioning to empowering others. As children grow, they must learn to be self-sufficient; similarly, leaders should foster the development of their team rather than constantly saving the day. Over-functioning can lead to burnout and hinder the potential of others, masking the importance of collaborative success. Many individuals who are over-functioners may stem from difficult childhoods, resulting in hypervigilance and anxiety. While these traits can drive achievement, they can also create personal challenges and negatively impact relationships.
