Selected Notes
- Leaders often confuse confidence with clarity; one can feel confident without knowing what direction to commit to.

- Decision overload paralyzes progress; defining criteria for choice simplifies execution.
- Accountability works best when paired with consistent ritual, not sporadic check-ins.
