Overcommitment can lead to a “siege” mentality — where you feel like you are continually under pressure or attack, leading to increased disagreements with others and dissatisfaction at work. But there are strategies you can use to break out of this cycle, including micro-mastery and a decision delay buffer.

on hbr.org
Many companies build cultures that are focused on controlling the output of low performers rather than growing and unlocking everyone’s skills.
