High-Performer habits will sneak up on leaders like you. What once got you promoted or helped you hit targets is now keeping you stuck. In this episode, Cathy and Ivan cut the B.S. and show you how to identify the behaviors that hold you back—and what to do instead.

Here’s what we cover:

• The patterns high performers fall into: autopilot habits, overdoing work, always being the “go-to,” and endless availability.
• Why we do it: past success, patterns our brain loves, and habits that were rewarded—and are now limiting growth.
• The cost: burnout, frustration, and holding your team back from stepping up.

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Identify your limiting habits: what behaviors are holding you back from leading effectively?
2. Determine what makes sense: for you, the person, and the work in this situation.
3. Step back strategically: let others take ownership and stop reinforcing patterns that don’t serve you.
