Leadership coaching: Write your company vision, then embody it daily. Inconsistent leader behavior undermines trust, morale, and results. True leaders lead by example.

Micromanagement and endless approvals trap leaders in dependency loops—talent flees, teams defer everything. The fix? A clear company vision that empowers autonomy and frees you to lead strategically. Define yours now.

In this episode of Letters to Leaders, Park Wiker shares a diagnostic letter written to leaders who feel stuck as the constant decision bottleneck in their organizations. Through real-world observations from coaching teams, Park identifies a common pattern: teams defer every decision back to the leader, even when “empowerment” is preached. He explores why this happens, the four potential root causes (with a strong hypothesis on vision and communication), and the simple—but not easy—solution.

In this inaugural episode of the “Letters to Leaders” series, Park Wiker reads an open letter challenging entrepreneurs and leaders to move beyond superficial goals (“more money, more leisure”) and uncover their true personal aim—the deep, meaningful direction that fuels fulfillment, growth, and impact.

You already know silence is killing the business, your integrity, and everyone’s future. Speak or suffer isn’t a catchphrase—it’s your choice.
