EP 191: Why "Stop" Is the Most Powerful Leadership Move

We’ve all been told to start doing new things — new habits, new priorities, new strategies.

But here’s the truth: real leadership growth doesn’t start with starting.

It starts with stopping.

In this episode of The Executive Appeal, I (Alex D. Tremble, CEO of GPS Leadership Solutions) dive into one of the most overlooked, yet transformational, leadership tools: the Start–Stop–Continue assessment — and why the “stop” step is the secret to sustainable success.


🎯 What you’ll learn:

✅ Why saying “no” is often the most strategic move you can make

✅ How stopping creates space for clarity, creativity, and growth

✅ The hidden cost of adding without removing

✅ A real-world story of an executive team that learned to stop — and finally made progress

✅ How to identify what no longer serves you (and lead more intentionally)


🎧 Tune in now to discover how knowing what to stop can help you lead with more focus, balance, and impact.
