Reply To: Leadership Story: How My Worst Failure Made Me a Better Leader

Thank you Jessica for sharing this. I enjoyed reading about your mistake and how you learnt from it. It can be very draining having to do almost everything available.
My experience is the opposite of yours. I faced it tough when I hired workers into positions before careful assessment of their roles not until I realized some of them were not necessary,they were having a lot of free time meaning we just needed a multitasking team. No matter the little work they were doing, they had to be paid, that mistake drained me and it made me a better leader. I have seen many organizations going through it, they tend to have a large number of workers than the available tasks.
