Why Are You Always Putting Out Fires?

Do you feel like you're spending too much of your time and energy putting out fires? If so, you're not alone. Most supervisors don't have time to plan or even get things done because they're too busy getting interrupted and putting out what seems to be a fire. But why are there so many fires that need tending? In this episode, I talk about some of the underlying causes of these "emergencies." I'll also talk about how you can change how you react to the people and situations around you, so you can start focusing on being strategic instead of reactive. 

When supervisors aren't being effective, teams aren't being effective. Unfortunately, most supervisors don't get the training and support they need to be successful. That's why we created the Supervisor Strengths Institute.

Join us for the Fall 2025 Cohort starting on Thursday, September 25th!

You'll get eight weeks of powerful online content, designed to help you better understand yourself, your talents, and how to better manage your team. This program combines online learning with weekly cohort calls to discuss the content. Plus, you get one individual coaching call to let you focus on the things that matter to you the most.
