E68: How Process Attachment Holds Back Innovation

Is your attachment to the process holding you back? In this episode, we dive into Process Attachment Disorder—the unhealthy dependence on established systems and methods that can keep us stuck. It's easy to get so focused on the how that we lose sight of the why. But real progress comes when we're willing to adapt and stay loyal to the mission, not the method. Adrian and Bri explore the Control Paradox, why we cling to comfort and predictability, and how letting go of rigid processes creates room for transformation and innovation. From leadership strategies to personal growth, this conversation is packed with insights on embracing change while staying mission-driven. Key Takeaways:

• What is Process Attachment Disorder, and how does it hold you back?
• The Control Paradox: Why the need for control limits progress.
• How to stay loyal to the mission while being flexible with methods.
• Why purpose and values must always guide the process.
• The power of adaptable allegiance: letting go of personal preferences for collective gain.

What's one process or system you're holding onto that no longer serves the mission?
