Shownotes

Today, Nick argues that while decisiveness is praised, it can lead to failure without a solid plan in place.

In this episode of Scaling New Heights Leadership, he tackles the myth of equating busyness with productivity.

With listeners, Nick explores common reasons leaders avoid planning, such as fear of accountability, addiction to crisis management, the illusion of flexibility, and the comfort of winging it.

He introduces the Eisenhower Matrix as a tool to help leaders prioritize effectively and emphasizes the importance of protecting 'important but not urgent' tasks to achieve long-term success.

Tune in to learn how to create a 90-day plan that provides focus, builds credibility, and inspires your team to follow your lead.
