Ever find yourself clenching the reins of control so tightly that your knuckles turn white? I've been there, too—struggling to maintain a façade of perfection in leadership, only to realize it could be my undoing. Welcome back to our 12 Days of Christmas Leadership series, where we're peeling back the layers of self-sabotage.

I share a tale from my own challenge to the shift that occurred with a simple red kitchen broom, I'm laying it all out there for you!
Discover 3 actionable steps that can help you identify why that control has you in a vice grip. Whether it's rooted in fear, a quest for perfection, or a cocktail of both, recognizing the motivations is step one to reclaiming your authentic leadership style.
