Only a couple days in and I've already failed at creating a habit. But I have to get back on the horse at one point or another.
I'm slowly finding a way to balance. It's easier to see from a bit of a distance. I've felt for so long that I needed to be part of the day to day of my programs-- every day. If I'm not hands on, the program will fail. It's not that I don't, or can't trust my staff, it's just that I'm not there, if things go wrong, I'm to blame. It's my fault. If I'm there, at least blame is earned.
But taking a step back, allowing things to happen with my staff, the same way I do with kids, is the way to grow them as individuals as well. They have to be able to make mistakes. I have to give up control in order to gain perspective. It's amazing to learn that there are so many more paths available when you aren't committed to one specific destination.
