Like so many, I recently realized how much of what I do is in the daily challenge to let GO. The old man wants to hang-on, be in control, but the act of trusting others, to step out (maybe even take time-off) and allow the team to make decisions and set another direction is what has held us through it all.
In these challenging times, as I was reflecting the more I let go, the more freeing and fun "work" was. It is easy in a managerial role to think "the buck stops here" or "unless I decide, it's not happening"- what a mistake, trusting others,, the step of faith in trusting co-workers is a powerful management action, allowing mental well-being, emotional health and overall a better outcome, even opens the door to a more stress-free lifestyle.
So I recommend we all stop what we are doing, take a breath, say a prayer, give thanks and thank others for their efforts- than let go, release the control and take a step out in faith.
