[S5, Ep31] Why Being the Final Decision-Maker Is Holding Your Business Back
You’ve built the team. You’ve tried delegating. But somehow, you're still making the final call on every. single. thing.
Sound familiar? Then this episode is a must-listen. We’re digging deep into the “Final Decision Maker Trap”—that sneaky leadership dynamic that keeps you stuck as the bottleneck, even when your intentions are good. This episode is all about bringing you clarity, ownership, and a structure that actually supports your team to lead alongside you.
Because delegation without decision rights isn’t leadership. It’s just another form of overwhelm.
⚡️ Episode Highlights
🧠 The real reason your team keeps bringing you options but no decisions
🔁 How unintentionally “re-deciding” is keeping your team stuck
