You Don’t Need a Cape to Be a Hero

If you’re solving every problem yourself, you’re not leading — you’re firefighting. Superhero leaders get tired. Empowered teams win championships.

It feels good to swoop in and save the day. But leadership isn’t about being the hero — it’s about building a team of heroes. When you do everything yourself, you burn out, bottleneck progress, and deprive others of growth. Distribute leadership. Delegate ownership. Build systems where others shine. That’s real legacy. It’s not about how many fires you put out — it’s about how many leaders you raise up.
