3 Signs That You’re a Martyr, Not a Leader
Are you most comfortable when you’re feeling overwhelmed? There is a possibility that you could be a martyr-leader. Here are the three signs.
You’re a bottleneck…and you secretly like it.
Martyr-leaders have unfulfillable commitments, impossibly Herculean to-do lists, and triple-booked schedules-all for the purpose of generating the warm, comforting glow of indispensability. If you notice this, you are in fact a martyr leader.
Your default mood is self-pity.
Watch a martyr-leader as he goes about his daily business, and you will find two primary attitudes on display: poor me and head-shaking sigh.
You exude learned helplessness.
Martyr-leaders live in a self-taught state of mind wherein nothing is ever truly fixable and everything is a mess-and expect the rest of us to feel the same.
