## Resource

Get the CEO Leadership Collection: Five curated conversations in a private podcast, each under ten minutes, on the decisions and pressures that define the role. Visit listentophil.com What decision have you been carrying around for weeks that should have taken ten minutes—and what decision did you make in ten minutes that really deserved a week? Most CEOs don't struggle because they make bad decisions. They struggle because they apply the wrong speed to the wrong type of decision. Discover why reversibility , not importance, is the best guide to decision speed. Learn a simple four-question framework to separate decisions that need momentum from those that deserve reflection. Leave with a practical way to sort this week's decisions into two piles: Fast and Slow . Listen to this episode, then spend ten minutes dividing every major decision on your desk into the Fast or Slow pile before your next leadership meeting. The Partnership Playbook is the podcast for leaders who want to grow with clarity, create leverage through partnerships, and lead their teams with meaning. Each episode gives you practical insights drawn from two decades of building and backing companies, coaching CEOs, and closing high-value partnerships across industries. You’ll learn how to scale yourself as a leader, choose partners that help you grow faster, and turn trust, alignment, and first wins into momentum that lasts.
