this was a problem.

I stayed too low for too long.

I was overly involved in details that I should have been delegating and trusting others.

Then later on, when I learned, okay, I need to rise above it, then later on, I made the opposite mistake, and I stayed too high or too removed for too long.

So early on, it was too involved for too long.

Later on, it was too uninvolved for too long.

Both created problems.

And so...

As a leader, what you want to do is you have to learn when to rise and when to dive, when to stay above and when to get involved.

And it's super important to understand that if you come down too often and you're in the weeds, you're going to lose perspective.

If you keep altitude too long, you're going to lose connection.

You're not going to know the people.

You're not going to know what's going on.

And so it's kind of like a dance.

You move back and forth.

And so you want to tell yourself the best leaders rise

and descend with intention, not emotion.

Super important.

You're going to be intentional about this because it's tempting when you're emotional to get involved for the wrong reasons.

Instead of trusting your team, like, no one does this right.
