The West of Perfection Podcast · Jul 16, 2026 · 22m

In today’s episode, Erin and MK describe how bottlenecks create decision fatigue, reduce collective brainpower, and build a dependent culture. The opposite extreme—over-delegation or abdication—can also hide critical issues. Stories include an unreported outage that threatened payroll, an interrupted client meeting to fix a broken soap dispenser, and an employee unable to commit to buying a chair for nine months. The hosts then explain 4 skills you need to master so that you can move past the leadership decision bottleneck.
