HRDA Shorts: Fanatics Says You Shouldn’t Be the Hero

Leaders always want to be the hero. With the responsibility lying on their shoulders, it makes sense to want to save as many employees and coworkers from as much hassle and stress as possible. But that doesn’t build strong teams, just wears out leadership.
