Approval Bottleneck
Everything routes through one desk, usually yours, whether it needs to or not.

Before You Pre-Order
Questions worth asking
When does it ship?+
Pre-orders ship the first week of September, timed to arrive before the 2026 LOD Summit. Digital pre-orders unlock the day of release.
Is this a quick read or a deep one?+
170 pages, built to finish on one flight. Thirteen chapters, each opening with a federal data point and closing with one action you can take that day.
What's the Decision Bottleneck Assessment?+
A free nine-minute diagnostic identifying which of the four bottleneck patterns is costing your organization the most, and where to start. Pre-order readers get it first.
Is this backed by real research, or just opinion?+
Every chapter opens with a sourced figure from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau, read through the Center for Next Generational Leadership's Decision Bottleneck Index™. The book tells you exactly how to read the numbers, including where the data doesn't prove the point.
