It doesn’t feel like work. It feels like interruptions.
A customer wants a discount. A supplier puts their prices up. Someone wants Friday off. Each question takes 30 seconds to answer, but every one of them is a decision the business is still waiting for you to make.
When I pulled apart the 376 owner dependencies I found across 22 family and owner-run businesses, I expected the biggest group to be the work itself.
It wasn’t.
31% were decisions the team could have made, but didn’t. And decision dependency showed up in 21 of the 22 businesses.
In this episode of The Green Room, I look at why decisions are different from tasks, why handing over a role doesn’t necessarily hand over the deciding, and why hiring another person often doesn’t solve the problem.
I also share four practical things you can start doing this week to identify the decisions still coming back to you, decide which ones genuinely belong with you, and give your team clearer authority to make the rest.
Because every decision that waits for you runs at the speed of your phone. And when everything still funnels back through one person’s attention, it doesn’t just cost you time. It limits the capacity of the business to grow.
