Stop Controlling, Start Leading: The Power of Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory
Manage episode 509516206 series 3674468
In this Leadership Lessons from the Bookshelf episode, Dorian Albritton unpacks Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory, a simple but profound mindset shift that’s taking off because it addresses a universal leadership struggle: control.
Most of us want others to act the way we think they should. When they don’t, frustration follows. But Robbins’ theory flips the script: instead of trying to control others, let them. As Dorian shares from his own experience, applying this approach in leadership and life can feel like a weight lifted.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why releasing control frees both you and others.
- How unmet expectations—not real problems—often create frustration.
- Why protecting your energy is essential to lead effectively.
- How discernment allows you to balance letting go with holding accountability.
Your 2% Edge this week: Pick one situation where you’re frustrated by someone else’s behavior and simply practice “let them.” Notice the shift in your own energy when you do.
