💬 Discussion Topic: Why Do So Many Leaders Struggle to Move the Needle?
Most leaders already know what they should be doing:Be strategic, intentional, and focused. Yet so many stay stuck in the same cycles—reactive, overloaded, and frustrated that, despite all the effort, the needle barely moves. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Leadership progress isn’t limited by knowledge. It’s limited by what we tolerate, avoid, or refuse to change. After years coaching leaders and leading transformation initiatives, I’ve noticed the same roadblocks show up again and again. A few common ones: - Overthinking disguised as “planning” - Waiting for the perfect plan (instead of making progress) - Avoiding risk or accountability - Doing too much at once (and losing focus) - Staying stuck in reaction mode instead of creating space to think Progress doesn’t come from knowing more. It comes from changing what you tolerate — and taking small, intentional action that compounds over time. 🔹 Discussion Prompt: What’s one area in your leadership or work where you feel “stuck”?What’s holding the needle in place — and what’s one move you could make this week to create momentum?
