"They believe it's just how it feels when you build a business."

I hear this all the time from CEOs.

They know they need to hire a salesperson.

They know they need to delegate.

They know staying in the sales role is slowing the business down.

Yet the hire never happens.

Not because the strategy is wrong.

Because accumulated pressure is influencing the decision.

Fear of making the wrong hire. Fear of losing control. Doubt that anyone else can do it as well.

Most people think this is normal.

I call it Performance Drag™.

The hidden pressure that quietly slows decisions and execution over time.

The goal isn't to force better decisions.

It's to remove the pressure interfering with them.

I recently discussed this with Jeff Holman on The Breakout CEO podcast.
