93% of Work Gets Stuck Here—Fix It in 1 Move

Most CEOs accidentally kill execution by pushing too many priorities at once.

I used to work with a CEO who dropped 20 new ideas every week... maybe 1 ever shipped.

They blamed the team’s execution. But it was the CEO creating the drag.

Too many priorities pushed through the business = downstream chaos.

Work piles up, deadlines get missed, and nothing moves.

The fix: Shift from a Push to a Pull System.

Here’s how it works (see image attached below 👇):

Central Backlog: Every idea gets logged in one place. No exceptions. The CEO can dump 100+ ideas here if they want—that's the funnel.
Weekly Approval: Only 3–5 items get greenlit per week. The CEO sets what matters. Not when it starts.
Team Pulls Work: No work starts unless the team has bandwidth. No pushing “just one more” thing mid-week. Execution becomes a team responsibility—not a reaction to leadership chaos.
Fixed Pipeline: Each idea moves through a simple flow: Backlog → Approved → In Progress → Proofing → Live. Once something starts, it must finish. No hopping between half-baked tasks.

Since installing this:

✅ Execution speed doubled

✅ Unfinished tasks dropped by 95%

✅ We published 3x more with less stress

This works across:

→ Content – Log ideas anytime. Team pulls & ships without overload.

→ Product – Focus on 5 features 100% done, not 100 at 5%.

→ Client Work – Only accept what can be delivered on time.

→ Sales – Sequence campaigns + assets without killing momentum.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

❌ Overriding the pull system

❌ Vague, one-line backlog ideas
