Strategies for Leaders Who Are Always ‘On’

Victoria’s Story: The Frustrated Fixer

Victoria was a leader everyone relied on. From last-minute crises to high-stakes decisions, she was the go-to person for solving problems. While she excelled in this role, it left her feeling drained and unfulfilled.

“I’m always ‘on,’” she admitted, “but I never have time to focus on what really matters to me.”

For leaders like Victoria, being the fixer feels like a badge of honor — until it becomes a burden. The constant demands can overshadow personal needs, leaving little room for fulfillment.
