Some days, I wake up and don't want to decide a single thing.

Some days, I wake up and don't want to decide a single thing.

That comment came from someone running a thriving company.
Decision overload is real, they wanted to avoid it all:

⇥ What to eat.
⇥ Who to hire.
⇥ When to stop.

Every leader hits that moment.
But we don’t talk about it enough.

It’s not weakness.
It’s being human.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄?
↳ And the stress of being expected to?

Sometimes, the strongest move is not to rush the answer ...
but to give yourself time and space to find the best one.

A strategic pause isn’t weakness.
It’s often the moment before wisdom.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
