Ever notice how some leaders seem to make decisions effortlessly, while others get stuck in endless deliberation?
Scaling a team isn’t just about speed—it’s about compounding good decisions over time. But decision-making is rarely just a logical process. Hidden motivators—like fear of failure, need for control, or past experiences—often shape how leaders make (or avoid) decisions.
This week, I’m breaking down a simple framework to help leaders make high-velocity decisions without regret—including when to move fast and when to slow down. And next week, I’ll go deeper into why smart people get stuck in decision paralysis (hint: it’s rarely about lack of information).
Let’s dive in.
Leaders often waste valuable time and energy on 'gravity problems'—issues beyond their control. In this article, I share practical strategies for recognizing, reframing, and redirecting your focus toward actionable solutions.

Drawing from Super Bowl quarterbacks, military strategy, and Bayes’ Theorem, this article explores how executives can sharpen their decision-making skills using the 50% Clarity Rule, the OODA Loop, and the concept of BMNT. The key to winning—whether in business or on the field—is knowing when to act and trusting your team to execute.
This is why the world’s most enduring leadership framework isn’t from business school. It’s from Stoicism—a philosophy forged in crisis and built for leaders navigating the unknown.
