🧱 Boundaries and Capacity
One of the quiet leadership challenges in quality roles is capacity.
Not workload — capacity.
Because when you:
- don’t “own” most of the work
- don’t line-manage most of the people
- but are still accountable for outcomes
it’s very easy to absorb responsibility that isn’t actually yours.
This shows up as:
- being copied into everything
- stepping in “just to be safe”
- holding risk that belongs elsewhere
- becoming the default problem-holder
Over time, this erodes both effectiveness and credibility.
Leadership in quality isn’t about doing more, it's about being clear on where your responsibility ends — and where others’ begins.
Where are you currently holding responsibility that should sit with someone else — even if it feels uncomfortable to let go?
Short answers welcome. Reading quietly is fine too.
