Leadership, Actually

How to Stop Overthinking Every Leadership Decision

Maryam Taheri

Overthinking feels like diligence, but it’s actually a leadership trap. The more you loop on a decision, the more energy you drain, momentum you lose, and confidence you erode — in yourself and in your team.

In this episode of Leadership, Actually, we break down what overthinking really is, why it’s harmful, and how to stop it. You’ll learn three simple shifts to cut through analysis paralysis, move forward with clarity, and reclaim your mental energy for the leadership work that matters most.

Because leadership isn’t about getting every decision right — it’s about creating clarity, moving forward, and adjusting as you go.
