Drowning in Decisions? You’re Leading the Wrong Way
Podcast Description
If your team can’t move without your input, you’re not leading—you’re bottlenecking.
In this episode of Things Leaders Do, Colby Morris shares the leadership shift that changed everything when he was managing a 350-person team. If you're overwhelmed by decision fatigue or constantly solving problems your team could handle, this episode will show you how to stop being the answer—and start building a team that knows how to think without you.
You’ll learn:
- Why answering every question is slowing you—and your team—down
- How to coach your people into confident, independent decision-makers
- A practical question that ends decision paralysis
- How to lead with people in mind—ethically, strategically, and with trust
- Why developing leaders is one of your most important jobs
Leadership Challenge:
Stop giving every answer. Start asking better questions.
Set the expectation: if they bring a problem, they bring two solutions.
If this episode helped you lead better:
Leave a quick review and share it with another leader. That’s how we grow this movement and build stronger teams, together.
