Episode Synopsis

What if the biggest risk a leader can take… is slowing down? In this episode, we explore a powerful lesson from a simple workplace mistake. One of our leaders made a minor error—nothing dramatic, nothing costly—and what stood out wasn’t the slip, but the response: full ownership, quick correction, zero excuses. It was a reminder of something we forget far too easily: high-velocity leadership comes with tiny messes—but slowing down comes with massive consequences. When leaders hesitate, overthink, or fear being wrong, they don’t just avoid mistakes—they avoid impact. Momentum dies. Innovation shrinks. Opportunities disappear. Join us as we unpack why decisive leaders move fast, stumble occasionally, and still create far more progress than those who tiptoe.💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why the fear of mistakes slows down entire organizations • The hidden cost of hesitation, overthinking, and perfectionism • How high-velocity leaders maintain both speed and resilience • The difference between a harmful mistake and a harmless blip • Why bold, decisive action outperforms caution every time🛠️ Action Step: Identify one decision you’ve been delaying because you’re afraid of getting it wrong.
