This is so spot on! I have frequently been in the CEO's shoes and sometimes "one more good idea" feels like the straw that is going to break the camel's back. Even taking the time to delegate it properly (clear goal, measurable outcome, guidelines about how you want the work accomplished) seems overwhelming. On the other hand, sometimes the leader's role is to create focus and prioritize among many promising paths. It's challenging to know the difference.
