#51 – Att släppa kontrollen som ledare – därför skapar bra ledare fler förare än passagerare

What happens in leadership when we dare to let go of control a little more?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. Hanna Zaxmy shares a personal reflection from the passenger seat while her daughter is practising for her driving licence. The situation reveals an insight that many leaders recognise: the instinct to step in and take over when something feels uncertain.

But real learning rarely happens when someone else grabs the wheel.

Just like learning to drive, leadership often involves creating the right conditions for others to practise, make decisions, and develop their own judgement. It may feel slower at first, but over time it builds something far more valuable: competence, ownership, and confidence within the team.

In this episode Hanna explores questions such as:

How do you know when to step in — and when to step back?
What happens in a team when the leader always solves the problem?
How can leadership be about creating more drivers rather than more passengers?

The episode ends with a simple reflection to bring into your week:

Where in your life or leadership are you still holding the steering wheel — even though someone else might be ready to practise?
