How many of your decisions are actually moving the business forward, and how many are just keeping you busy?

In this episode, Allison Dunn unpacks why speed is often mistaken for progress and how that habit creates a costly leadership pattern she calls the Speed Tax.

You’ll hear:

Why fast action creates the illusion of success

The 3 hidden costs of moving too quickly: reversal cost, cleanup cascade, and opportunity displacement

The difference between motion and momentum

Why the brain is wired for quick reactions, not always clear leadership decisions

How to use decision architecture to separate one-way door decisions from two-way door decisions

The key questions leaders should ask before making important decisions

Why fewer, better decisions can create more revenue, stronger teams, and less wasted time

This episode is a reminder that leadership is not about making the most decisions. It is about making the right ones with clarity, intention, and direction.
