Clearing Space with No
Saying no is a leadership skill.
It's not about rejecting ideas, it's about protecting focus. When everything feels important, nothing is. Saying no clears space for what truly matters - what drives impact, not just activity.
Yes, it will sting. People will take it personally. But prioritisation isn't about popularity; it's about progress.
Every “no” to distractions is a “yes” to momentum.
