I can be something of a "yes man" when I start a new role, and it leads to me sometimes taking on more than I can handle. Early on in my career I worked at companies with very poor work-life balance and where toxic managers encouraged junior employees to push themselves in unreasonable ways, and I think this is something that still impacts me (though I'm working on it). I want to stop volunteering to take on tasks just for the sake of it, especially when there are others on the team who could have taken it on themselves. I also want to put more thought into how I function in the broader context of the team; areas where I can step in and improve my leadership skills, and where I can add value outside of the day-to-day responsibilities of my role.
