What if the qualities that made you successful are now the qualities holding you back?
For almost a decade, Nitesh Agarwal has helped build and lead Urban Company’s Middle East business.
He had recently been promoted.
The company had gone public.
Everything on the outside was going well.
But inside, there was conflict.
The drive, intensity and attention to detail that had helped him succeed were making it difficult to switch off, let go and be fully present.
He was thinking about work at home.
Responding to Slack messages around the clock.
Questioning how much to push his team and whether slowing down would mean losing the drive that had brought him this far.
Then came the realisation:
“I am the only bottleneck.”
Over four months of working together, Nitesh began learning how to let go of control, trust his team, create space to think and lead from a calmer place.
Not by becoming less ambitious.
By becoming more aligned.
In our exclusive episode of the Lead From Within Podcast, we explore:
• Why slowing down can help you move faster
• How micromanagement limits both you and your team
• The balance between the hungry lion and the peaceful monk
• Why your next level may require unlearning, not learning more
• How to remain intense in your mission while becoming calm within yourself
This is an honest conversation about what happens when a high performer realises that the approach which created their success may not be the approach that takes them forward.
