Technology leaders are known for their ability to navigate complexity, anticipate edge cases and design systems that scale. But that strength can turn into a liability when leaders overengineer decisions, overanalyze trade-offs or layer on processes that slow teams down.

From product strategy and tooling choices to hiring, governance and AI adoption, tech leaders face constant pressure to future-proof every move. Still, knowing when complexity isn’t essential but is instead self-inflicted is a defining leadership skill. Below, members of Forbes Technology Council share common decisions tech leaders tend to overcomplicate, along with practical ways to simplify them without sacrificing rigor, outcomes or impact.

Determining Cybersecurity Investments

Tech leaders invest in monitoring and detection tools for cybersecurity. Though these tools have extreme value, IT executives often fail to evaluate corporate risk and mitigation strategies before buying tools. This results in a plethora of alerts and alarms that often have no impact on the business but captivate thousands of person-hours annually. The solution? Analyze the risk before buying tools. – Jim Barrett, Edge Total Intelligence
