What roles or habits do I need to let go of even though they once served me well?

Whatever's keeping you anchored to who you used to be. Kris Kluver, in The Dysfunctional Family Office, asks leaders to look at the people, roles, and habits that once served them and decide which ones still do. Most have at least three that don't. The hands-on operating role that built the company. The longtime executive who can't make the next leap. The daily habit of being the first call for every client question. Each of these served the founder during a specific era. Each of them now keeps the founder anchored to a chapter that's already over. Letting go isn't betrayal. It's the work that lets the next chapter actually begin. Most founders resist because the past role feels like home. The reframe is that staying in it costs the future the founder said they wanted. Naming what to let go of is the easier half. Actually doing it is the harder half.
