This episode explores how leaders make difficult, solitary decisions when feedback and applause are absent, explaining why silence is often a feature of higher-level leadership and not failure.

Maureen (Mo) introduces the LEAP model—Lead, Empower, Align, Persevere—and gives practical steps to build internal decision anchors, act with purpose, and steward responsibility without immediate affirmation.

Leaders are exhausted because decision volume now outpaces clarity — amplified by constant options, shifting expectations, and AI tools that require human judgment. This episode explains why decision fatigue is structural, how symptoms show up in behavior, and why speed isn’t the answer.

Instead of more data or faster tools, the host offers a practical approach: create filters for what truly needs your judgment, delegate or eliminate recurring low-value decisions, and use the LEAP model (Lead, Empower, Align, Persevere) to restore discernment.

Listeners will leave with a clear challenge to reduce one draining decision and a free mini alignment audit to start protecting clarity and sustainable leadership.

Using the LEAP model—Lead, Empower, Align, Persevere—Mo shows how to return responsibility with clarity, set boundaries, and develop healthy systems that allow leaders to scale, protect people, and sustain performance.
