Maybe bring some of your closest lieutenants in and tell them that you're feeling close to breaking point and that you need them to take some slack for a while.

Maybe bring some of your closest lieutenants in and tell them that you're feeling close to breaking point and that you need them to take some slack for a while. Be honest an frank with them that you may need to walk (or be carried) away from it if something doesn't change quickly. Make use of the anti-authoritarian aspect of your setup to try and draft in some collective help?
- nommm-nommm 11y agoDon't tell them you are close to the breaking point - that will make them question your judgements. But you have to be firm that things need to change. If lieutenants are subordinates (that part is not clear to me) lay out what needs to be done by who. If they are unwilling or unable to do the assigned tasks then fire them and replace them with people who will do their job. They are your employees not your bffs. If lieutenants are peers then this doesn't apply.
