   {Throwback Episode} The Cost of Procrastination in Leadership: Why Stalling Can Hold You Back

   Leadership isn't just about knowing what to do. It's about having the courage to act. In this throwback episode of The Made For More Podcast, Ally Nitschke explores one of the biggest challenges leaders face: procrastination. Not the kind that shows up on your to-do list, but the leadership stalls that quietly delay decisions, slow momentum, and prevent teams from reaching their potential. From purpose and team alignment to communication, change leadership, authority, focus, and leadership development, Ally breaks down the common areas where leaders get stuck and the real cost of waiting for the "perfect" moment. As organisations continue to navigate change and increasing complexity, leaders who can move through uncertainty with clarity and courage will be better positioned to create momentum, build engaged teams, and drive meaningful results.

Published 1 Aug 2022 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And unless whoever you hired takes your job, right? And you go into the sunset. So they're going to leave you. And if we can just embrace it from the beginning and understand that companies are places that people go through. And how do we keep them longer than they think they're going to stay with us? Yeah. Number one, right? And that is all about being a place to stay for. So what's a place to stay for? A place to stay for is a place where I understand my role and it matters. I understand I can resolve conflicts easily. I feel valued. And I'm appreciated. And people do the things. And there's, you know, the book, the language of appreciation, which I highly recommend.
