🎙 Steve discusses the challenge of projects not progressing without his involvement and the frustration of having to micromanage and spoon-feed his team. He shares a personal experience where a project stagnated because he didn't provide clear direction and a formalized plan. 

Steve emphasizes the importance of creating a vision board for projects, aligning them with company goals, and outlining the desired outcome. By empowering the team to push back and ask for the necessary information, projects can progress independently, saving time and resources. 

Steve highlights the value of proper planning and systemizing project implementation to avoid stagnation and ensure successful outcomes.
