Your Team Doesn’t Need a Hero

How doing less helps your team grow more

👋 Hey, Carlos here! Welcome to “The Holistic Leader”, your weekly source of simple and honest leadership, Agile, Management & team insights.

Some weeks, I catch myself doing too much.

Jumping into every problem.
Offering solutions before they’re asked for.
Thinking I’m being helpful—when I’m actually just getting in the way.

This isn’t about ego. It’s about habit.
And it’s a habit many of us fall into, especially when we care deeply about our teams.

If you're a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, Team lead or a leader in your industry, you’ve probably felt this too.

You step in with good intentions.
But over time, your team starts to wait for you to lead every step.
And suddenly, the load is all on you.

That’s what today’s piece is about.

It’s not a critique.
It’s a reminder.

A reminder that real leadership isn’t about saving the day all the time.

It’s about making sure you don’t have to.
