There’s a kind of CEO who wants to be everywhere. He or She wants to be CEO, COO, CTO, CSO, CMO,CPO.
They believe that only with their intervention things move and only then can success happen.
But here’s the truth 👇
If nothing moves without the CEO, they’ve hired the wrong team or worse, they’ve created a culture where no one dares to move without approval.
At first, it feels good as everyone’s aligned around the CEO, keeping them “in the loop.”
But soon…
• Every decision needs a sign-off.
• Every meeting revolves around one person.
• Everyone’s busy keeping the boss happy, not the business healthy.
And the CEO?
Feels exhausted, overworked, and constantly in control but with no time to actually lead.
That’s not leadership. That’s micromanagement in disguise.
And the result? Pure KAOS.
The only way out:
Either the CEO steps back and trusts the team… or the company will eventually need to step forward without them.
💡 Leadership isn’t about being everywhere it’s about empowering others to lead.
