In this episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast, Allison Dunn explores the hidden cost of moving too fast in business: what she calls the Speed Tax. While speed often looks like productivity, many leaders are paying for quick decisions through reversals, cleanup work, and missed strategic opportunities. Allison breaks down the difference between motion and momentum, explains why our brains are wired for fast reactions instead of clear thinking, and introduces the concept of decision architecture to help leaders determine which decisions require speed and which deserve a strategic pause. The goal is not to slow down everything, but to increase decision quality so teams move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and long-term impact.
