From Fixer to Facilitator:
What’s Your Leadership Mindset?
Many managers were trained to jump in, take over, and keep things moving. It may work in the short term, but over time, this “Fixer” approach can not only undermine your effectiveness as a leader, but limit your team’s growth, confidence, and performance.
Today’s most effective leaders don’t fix everything—they facilitate.
They coach. They ask great questions. They build capability instead of creating dependence.

A clear picture of your current leadership style
Insight into how your habits impact your team
Practical areas to focus on for growth
