The Sarlacc Principle

Slow systems don’t fail loudly—they quietly swallow good people.

In this episode of I’m Just Getting Started, we unpack The Sarlacc Principle, a leadership metaphor inspired by Star Wars that explains how unclear ownership, delayed decisions, and endless processes slowly drain momentum, morale, and talent.

If your team feels stuck, busy but not moving, or worn down by “that’s just how it is,” this episode is for you.

Key themes: leadership clarity, momentum, bureaucracy, and protecting your people from slow harm.

🎧 Listen in—and ask yourself: Where am I letting the Sarlacc win?
