In today’s professional landscape, leaders are confronted with a seemingly infinite array of choices. These decisions extend far beyond mere task allocation: How should priorities be set? Which strategies should be pursued? How can teams be guided through the complex challenges of both present and future? While this abundance of options ostensibly offers freedom and flexibility, it simultaneously presents a fundamental paradox. The perceived liberation becomes a burden, as every decision inevitably entails the relinquishment of alternatives.
