JACKSONVILLE, FL, February 06, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Executive manager and philanthropist Sam Kazran is raising awareness about a widespread but often overlooked issue affecting professionals, teams, and organizations: the loss of clarity caused by overcomplication and hesitation.
Drawing from his career leading teams under pressure, Kazran says many people mistake constant activity for real progress. The result is stalled projects, burnout, and decisions that never get made.
"I've watched capable people get stuck not because they lack skill, but because everything around them feels louder than it needs to be," Kazran said. "When there's too much noise, people stop moving."
A Common Problem Hiding in Plain Sight
Research shows this issue is far more common than many realize:
67% of initiatives fail due to unclear priorities and slow decision-making (Harvard Business Review).
Workers spend up to 60% of their time trying to understand unclear tasks or expectations (McKinsey).
Decision fatigue can reduce accuracy by up to 50% after repeated choices (University of Texas).
Teams with unclear ownership are three times more likely to miss deadlines (Project Management Institute).
Over 70% of employees say meetings often slow work instead of helping it (Atlassian).
Kazran notes that none of this is caused by laziness.
"Most people are working hard," he said. "They're just operating inside systems that are too complicated to support good decisions."
Why Clarity Matters Now
According to Kazran, clarity is not about doing less work. It's about doing the right work.
He points to moments in his career where simplifying systems led to immediate improvements.
"I once stopped a project halfway through because the process had too many steps," he said. "We cut what didn't matter, and the team finished early. Stress dropped almost overnight."
Clear goals, simple language, and defined ownership allow people to act with confidence instead of waiting for permission.
"When people know what matters, they don't freeze," Kazran added. "They move."
What Individuals Can Do Today
Kazran encourages people to start small and take responsibility for clarity in their own work and lives.
Simple actions to try today:
Write your main goal in one sentence. If it's longer, simplify it.
Limit decisions to three options whenever possible.
Cut one unnecessary meeting, step, or task this week.
Ask one clear question instead of sending a long message.
Take five quiet minutes before making a pressured decision.
"You don't need permission to simplify your own system," Kazran said. "Clarity starts with one decision."
A Personal Call to Action
Kazran believes restoring clarity is a shared responsibility.
"You don't need a title to reduce noise," he said. "You just need the courage to ask what actually matters and act on it."
He encourages professionals, parents, and leaders at every level to pause, simplify, and choose clarity over chaos.
Call to Action
Take ten minutes today to review one area of your work or life that feels stuck. Remove one unnecessary step. Make one clear decision. Then share this message with a friend, colleague, or family member who feels overwhelmed.
Small changes, made consistently, can prevent months of frustration.
Overcomplication and decision paralysis occur when individuals or organizations add unnecessary steps, information, or approvals that slow progress and increase stress. Often mistaken for careful planning, these patterns are a leading cause of missed deadlines, burnout, and stalled momentum. Research shows that simplifying systems, clarifying goals, and reducing noise significantly improve decision-making and outcomes.
