Stop Saving the Day: Why Rescuing Isn’t Leadership and What to Do Instead

  • Summary

  • Can you love your colleagues enough to let them experience the consequences of their behavior?

    Women in tech are great at solving problems. But sometimes we leap in to protect others from their errors and shoulder burdens that aren’t ours. It slows down our careers and increases our stress.

    This episode unpacks how stepping back, setting boundaries, and trusting others to handle their responsibilities empowers not just your colleagues but also yourself. You’ll hear real-world strategies to navigate these situations with courage, kindness, and clarity.

    Key Takeaways:

    • How societal conditioning impacts women in tech.
    • Why rescuing others is not the same as being a team player or leader.
    • The power of discomfort as a catalyst for growth.
    • How respecting others’ growth creates space for your own.
