Feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the lack of progress in achieving your goals, despite your best efforts and hard work? You are not alone! Many leaders and aspiring leaders find themselves trapped in a cycle of unproductive actions, such as micromanaging every task or relying solely on their team's inertia, instead of taking personal initiative. This not only hinders their own growth and development but also limits the potential for success within their organizations. It's time to break free from this cycle and embrace the significance of personal initiative in driving your own success.
