Are you accidentally destroying your team with a "Hero Leader" mindset? Many leaders believe their job is to be the primary problem-solver, but this approach can secretly sabotage team performance and create a massive bottleneck. This is the "Hero Leader" Delusion. In this interview, executive coach Dr. Carla Fowler (MD, Ph.D.) breaks down the psychology of leadership and reveals how even well-intentioned leaders stifle growth. We explore the critical differences between strategic thinkers and action-takers, why leaders must stop "putting out fires," and how to truly empower your team to achieve breakthrough results. If you're an entrepreneur, CEO, or founder, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about building a high-performing team. Check out the company: https://thaxa.com
