  • 486 — How to escape the 'hero trap'

    486 — How to escape the 'hero trap'
    Mar 10 2026

    Often, leaders are promoted into their roles because of their ability to solve problems. But that strength can become a weakness when it leads to dependency, creating an environment where the leader is always swooping in to save the day.

    In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Cammy are joined by Bill Flynn, CEO of Catalyst Growth Advisors and author of The Hero Trap, to discuss:

    • what the 'hero trap' is and why leaders fall into it;
    • why the behaviors that bring early success often limit growth later on;
    • how leadership development programs need to change to address this issue;
    • how we can help leaders make the shift from problem-solvers to systems-architects.

    You can pre-order The Hero Trap here, and find out more about Bill's work on his website.

    In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D recommended the podcast Rabbit Hole.

    In the introduction to the latest Global Sentiment Survey report, Donald Taylor describes this year's results as 'the most significant' in the survey's history. In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Don joins Ross D and Ross G to discuss: whether interest in AI has peaked;why Don believes the results reflect a breaking of old norms;the steady climb of 'showing value' and the relative decline of 'learning analytics';the key challenges L&D professionals are facing;the things these professionals are doing now that they weren't doing a year ago. You can download a copy of the Global Sentiment Survey report here. In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross G drew an analogy between content in the pre-AI era and low-background steel. Don recommended A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry by Geoffroi de Charny. And Ross D referenced the article 'An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me' by Scott Shambaugh.

    Cafes, restaurants and car washes all use points and rewards to drive behaviors. Can we do the same with our Learning Management Systems?

    In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Incentli's Jeff Campbell speaks to Ross G and Ross D about:

    • how digital currencies give LMS administrators levers they can pull to drive behavior
    • the role of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on learning
    • the impact of branded swag on learner advocacy

    In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D discussed GitHub commits (super fun to bet on!)
