#29 | Why CEOs With Advanced Executive Leadership Skills Still Struggle With Boardroom Decision Velocity

Boardroom Breakthroughs: Executive Leadership Skills for CEOs to Align the C-Suite & Eliminate Boardroom Friction

Do you ever wonder why your boardroom decisions drag on, even with strong leadership at the table?

Many CEOs assume that advanced leadership automatically speeds up strategy execution. But in reality, the very skills that make you a strong leader can unintentionally slow decision velocity — leaving your board frustrated and your momentum stalled.

In this episode, we uncover the paradox of leadership and decision velocity in the boardroom. You’ll learn the hidden psychological traps that even the most skilled CEOs fall into, and the practical shifts that can restore speed without sacrificing quality or stakeholder alignment.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

1. The “consensus trap” that looks like collaboration but secretly creates endless loops.
2. How perfectionist analysis sabotages decision velocity — and the deadlines that solve it.
3. A simple mindset shift that balances healthy relationships with fast, decisive action.

🎧 If you’re ready to accelerate decision velocity in your boardroom while keeping leadership standards high, listen to this episode and unlock the strategies your team has been missing.
