From Intuitive to Intentional: How to Get What’s in Your Head Into the Hands of Your Team
Most leaders don’t fail because of a lack of ideas... they fail because those ideas never leave their heads.
In this episode, Alan Briggs helps leaders make the crucial shift from intuitive to intentional, showing how to build systems and filters that multiply impact and prevent burnout. If your team constantly depends on you for decisions, it’s time to get what’s in your head into theirs — so your organization can grow beyond your personal capacity.
Alan unpacks insights from the middle of his book, Anti-Burnout: A Lighter Way to Live and Lead in a Heavy World, and breaks down a practical process that will help you lead more effectively without carrying it all alone.
What You’ll Learn
Why your best ideas and decisions shouldn’t stay in your head
The three essentials for moving from intuitive to intentional: process, courage, and trust
How to clarify your vision, mission, and values so your team can act without hesitation
The four H filters every leader needs (humble, hungry, honest, high-capacity)
How to reduce decision fatigue and build simple, repeatable decision-making filters
Why slowing down, documenting, and delegating is an investment, not a setback
How releasing control can actually expand your influence and create new space for creativity
Key Quote
“Filters are pre-made decisions that make decision-making in the moment simple.”
