You're not the bottleneck because you're bad at leading.
You're the bottleneck because you're very, very good at it.
Every time you answer a question your team should solve, you train them to bring you the next one. Every time you weigh in on a decision they could own, you quietly shrink their thinking. It feels like leadership. It's actually a ceiling for them, and for you.
Think First is a field guide for the leader who has outgrown reactive mode but hasn't yet built the team that can run without them. Drawing on 30 years of executive coaching and work with over 1,000 leaders, Allison Dunn names the five cognitive traps keeping even the most talented leaders locked in firefighting and gives them five proven methods to break free.
You'll leave with a team that brings solutions instead of problems, decisions that get made without you, and a business that grows beyond your personal bandwidth.
This isn't a someday book. It's a start-Monday book.
