How many things in your life are you currently trying to fix that aren't even yours to fix? An employee who isn't performing the way you want. A team member who keeps making the same mistake. A business problem you've been solving alone for years. A family member whose choices frustrate you. Your own tendency to overwork, overthink, and over-achieve.Recording solo this week from Ideas Fest, a festival in a field about 45 minutes outside London with 6,000 other founders, entrepreneurs, and investors, Lori Saitz breaks down why fixing feels like responsibility but is actually about control, and why the exact instinct that made you successful as an individual contributor is often the thing holding your team, your family, or yourself back.Drawing on conversations from four past episodes, a business owner who scaled by stepping back, a leader who reframed what it means to see people as more than resources, a guest who spent years achieving to prove his worth, and a founder who lost everything overnight through no fault of her own, Lori lays out a five-question test for telling the difference between fixing and leading, and what real trust actually requires you to give up.What You'll Take AwayWhy fixing other people's problems is often less about helping them and more about maintaining a feeling of controlThe real difference between helping someone become more capable and rescuing them from ever having to beWhy the skill that made you successful as an individual contributor can become the exact thing holding your organization back once you're leading othersA five-question test to run before you jump in and solve a problem that was never yours to solveWhat “this is how it is now” actually means as a starting point for acceptance, not a form of giving upChapters & Key Timestamps00:00 Opening: the cost of fixing things that aren't yours to fix01:27 Recording solo from Ideas Fest in England01:57 The things we try to fix that were never ours to fix02:41 Why fixing feels like responsibility, but is often about control03:10 The high-achiever hustle myth, and what it actually costs03:37 You can only control your inputs, never the outcomes04:08 The exact skill that gets you promoted becomes the thing holding your team back04:39 Will Steel's story: the business owner who scaled by stepping back (Ep. 235)05:16 Five questions to ask before deciding your team needs more of you05:55 The real difference between helping and rescuing06:30 What rescuing sounds like, versus what leadership actually sounds like07:37 Scott Doggett's boat analogy: rowing hard, barely rowing, rowing backwards (Ep. 238)08:42 Why you can't lead someone you've already decided is a problem09:19 Recognizing people as humans, not managing them as “resources”09:55 Anthony Sparks and the belief that achievement will finally make you worthy (Ep. 216)11:01 Why external achievement can't fix an internal problem11:30 What happens when you genuinely cannot fix the situation11:57 Jodi Scott's story: losing everything in 24 hours, through nothing she did wrong (Ep. 236)13:17 “This is how it is now”: acceptance as a starting point, not surrender14:00 Why trust and micromanaging cannot coexist14:38 Trusting someone means trusting their way, not just your way15:16 The five-question test: am I fixing, or am I leading?16:28 What true leadership actually looks like16:56 The song, and why it's a little ironic given today's topicThe Fixing-or-Leading TestRUN THIS BEFORE YOU JUMP IN TO SOLVE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T YOURS:1.
