About this listen

Strategy becomes real when you say no. In this episode you’ll learn how to create strategic trade-offs that protect focus and stop complexity from killing performance. You’ll build non-negotiables, exclusion rules, and “stop lists” that make decisions fast—and stop your business getting dragged into low-margin, high-drama work.

You will learn:

  • Why complexity kills margin, quality, and morale
  • The “stop list” that gives you capacity back
  • How to set boundaries without losing authority
  • Trade-offs for pricing, customers, products, and service levels
  • Enforcing trade-offs with your managers (not just you)

Outcome / Artifact:

Trade-off Rules (3–7 rules) + Stop Doing List + Boundary Scripts
