Are you projecting the right kind of public image?

You like to be in control and might think others admire your take-charge attitude. While many probably do, you might also come across as a bit (or a major) control freak… and that probably isn’t a good thing.

Do you refuse to let others do certain tasks because they won’t do them “correctly”? Are you always the first one to speak up about what needs to be done first, second, third… and what is a waste of time? Do you only ask for help if you’re feeling like a sinking ship?

Loosening up a little and letting others’ feedback and job performance shine will not only ease some stress off your shoulders, but it will make others feel that you value and respect them more. Win-win!
