Episode five of the Busy Is Broken series. Bill tells the story of Lee, a healthcare CEO who ran a national company the same way they ran eighth-grade group projects — by doing everyone else's work. The gap between how Lee described the behavior and how the team experienced it is the micromanager's blind spot. The fix isn't a personality transplant. It's catching the reflex before you act on it.

Capri, 2010. That’s Jack and Sophia on the bow.
What you can’t see: I’d just spent 10 months terrified of this moment. A full month in Italy, no client calls, no team meetings. I was convinced the business would fall apart without me.
It didn’t. The team was magnificent.
Turns out I was the problem I was trying to solve.
I’ve been coaching CEOs on this for 16 years. Now I’m writing the book.
