That’s normal. The end of the year always brings a mix of celebration and reflection. Before you...

Wearing too many hats? Here's how to fix it!
10 Dec 2025 Role Clarity and a Simple Decision Framework to Help You Regain Focus and Momentum ↓ This week we’re tackling a challenge that slows down many businesses: unclear roles and decision bottlenecks. When everyone wears too many hats, progress stalls and accountability blurs. That’s role compression — one person taking on too many roles so focus scatters and tasks slip through the cracks. Here’s what worked for us: We asked one question: What’s mine, what’s yours, and what’s stuck? We...
