This week’s focus is not on how you respond.
It is on what you allow in.
Most pressure does not come from decision-making.
It comes from:
- too many inputs
- unnecessary conversations
- constant access to you
By the time you are making decisions, the volume has already been set.
High-level leadership is not just about response.
It is about controlling what reaches you in the first place.
