In this short talk, Lara Guevara admits a personal leadership habit of hoarding information until she has a solution, believing it shows responsibility. She recounts how this behavior delayed a client team's planning by about two weeks, illustrating the hidden cost of well‑intentioned information‑holding. Guevara argues that the remedy isn’t a new tool or process but assigning clear routing ownership—making someone explicitly responsible for forwarding information—so good intentions don’t become bottlenecks. The message is aimed at founders and operations leaders who may be unintentionally slowing their teams.

Something I'm actually bad at, since I've spent all month telling you what to do, I hold information. Not deliberately, I do it because I want to have a solution before I share the problem, and that feels responsible. It isn't, it's just slow. I did it this year and it cost client team about 2 weeks of planning they could have had if I just forwarded the message on the day. So if you're a founder who does the same thing, and a lot of us do, The fix isn't lisutrin, it's making routing somebody's actual job instead of your good intention.
