This is something I struggle to answer.
I’m always pressed in my personal and professional life to be one step ahead of everything. Don’t ask for help but instead, manage everything perfectly so you can anticipate ahead of time, so you can draw boundaries in what you can handle without ever resorting to vulnerability.
If you become vulnerable, it becomes weaponized against me as a weakness you could have fixed in planning, etc.
I always get tripped up by the same premise. You made me into this perfect superstar who never needs your help. Soooooooo, when I get to that point, what’s the point of teamwork?
If I have no vulnerabilities that need someone who’s better, and can’t delegate work I can’t get to…what am I doing?! What’s a team for? I can just do it all myself. That’s what you want.
Can someone help me out with this?
