With a boss like mine, no chance you'll get carried away. Reality check always embedded in a quasi commendation.

"You're doing great but you should be worried that you've not groomed others who share your work ethics. Your success lies in replicating yourself".

I hear sir.

I could make excuses. Words like you can only drag a horse to the river & such but he's actually right. I cannot be the go-to person all the time. I have to consciously ensure available of a ready pool of talents who can competently deputise or handle tasks on their own.

It sounds clichéd but it's true that success without a successor is faulty. You may just be feeding your own ego by being the only one who knows how to effectively get things done. There's also the element of wear-out & fatigue. Do it for yourself at the very least.

The challenge of ruthless executioners is delegation. Finding those who share your 'succeed first, complain later' mentality. Those who will get to a door & find a way in without calling you to say the door is locked. Doers. Performers. They are hard to find.

Most ruthless executioner mindsets are innate. They are honed on the journey. They are LEARNT by observation & replication. They are not TAUGHT. If I have to repeatedly teach you what to do even after observing how I do them, you probably are not personally motivated.
