Some of the sneakiest forms of self-sabotage don’t feel like sabotage at all.
They’re behaviors that come from a place of self protection, but they don’t actually benefit the business (or you, really).
For example: Working hard to finally create calendar space and then reactively filling it with busywork vs growth work. Or, underpricing so you feel better about enforcing normal business policies. Saying no to hiring because “it’s just faster if I do it myself.”
That’s why what looks like strategy might actually be survival mode.
In this episode, I break down 5 business behaviors that are actually Survival Mode in disguise.
If you’re doing any of these, it just means your identity is at a threshold. This is a normal part of business but they’re also what keep brilliant CEOs stretched + their growth capped.
You’ll also get reflection questions to help you shift out of protection mode and lead from trust instead—without blowing up what you’ve already built.
