About this audiobook

Most leaders believe their job is to solve problems. They fix issues, answer every question, and step in whenever something goes wrong. But this approach quietly creates dependent teams, drains leaders of their time, and limits growth. In Stop Fixing, Start Leading, Reid Richards challenges the common leadership trap of becoming the Chief Problem Solver. Instead of fixing everything, true leaders build people who can think, take ownership, and solve problems themselves. Through practical leadership insights and real-world experience, Richards shows how to shift from control to coaching and from managing problems to developing people. Listeners will learn how to create stronger teams, build accountability, and lead in a way that multiplies performance rather than carrying the entire load alone. The best leaders don’t solve every problem. They develop people who can.
