What you'll learn

Identify the structural signal that’s making you the decision hub instead of the team.

How to redesign your team's purpose

Why this topic matters

When a team’s purpose isn’t clear enough to guide decisions, it all defaults to the leader. That slows execution, creates extra meetings, and compounds leader overload. This session shows how to quickly test whether your team’s setup is helping or quietly making you the decision hub — and what to do about it.
