Poor decision-making? Conflicting priorities? Sluggish productivity? Classic symptoms. The real problem? Your team, systems, and goals are pulling in different directions - and you’re too busy putting out fires to notice.

Most CEOs don’t lose because they’re not working hard enough. They lose because their business lacks alignment, and no amount of hustle will fix that (trust me). In this episode of Stop Managing, Start Leading, we break down the four brutal zones that, when lacking, trap even the smartest leaders: Comfort, Chaos, Confusion… and the elusive Clarity Zone.

Top CEOs know: alignment is a non-negotiable. It’s the difference between leading decisively and constantly second-guessing. Between scaling smoothly and spinning in circles.

If you’re ready to stop making avoidable business mistakes (happens to the best of us), this is where you start. Because let’s face it: leadership shouldn’t feel like you're herding cats. I’ll say it again it’s that important (we even have a tea towel with this printed on – yes, seriously): leadership should NEVER feel like you're herding cats.

I’m Antonio and in this episode, I’ll be your leadership coach. I'll guide you through essential leadership models to help you understand the differences between leadership and management.
