Today we share how to stop being the bottleneck by shifting from making every choice to designing how choices get made. A simple decision matrix helps your team move faster while you protect deep work and focus on what truly needs you.

In this episode you will learn about:

• The bottleneck problem and why capable teams still defer

• Shifting from decision-maker to decision-designer

• Shirley Williani’s story and the tough team feedback

• The two-question decision matrix that scales autonomy

• Examples of reversible and inconsequential choices

• Protecting deep work by delegating timelines and scheduling

• Structuring team meetings to lead with recommendations

• Choosing which decisions still require your judgment
