The Hidden Cost of Being the Final Decision

I was talking to a leader recently who said:

“My team is working hard… but everything still comes back to me.”

After listening for over 15 minutes there was a moment it clicked.

Nothing was broken.

But nothing was truly moving without them either.

Every decision had a checkpoint.

And that checkpoint was them.

Over time, that creates:

• Slower execution

• Repeated conversations

• Quiet frustration on both sides

The fix wasn’t more effort.

It was redesigning how decisions get made.

👉🏽 Curious—as we start a new week, what still “needs your final say” more than it should?
