A Concept to Challenge Your Status Quo
“Action cures fear. Indecision fuels it.” — Napoleon Hill
A few months ago, a founder told me, “I’ll move when I’m sure.”
Six months later, his competitors were thriving with half the data and twice the courage.
The truth? We only lose when we don’t move.
Think of leadership like surfing. The perfect wave will never come. You commit when you’re 40% sure, and course-correct fast. Wait until you’re 70% sure, and you’ll miss the set entirely.
Great executives don’t chase certainty; they refine velocity.
They know clarity is forged through motion, not before it.
A recent client experienced a transformation that didn’t come from a new plan, it came when leaders stopped waiting for the “right time.” They shifted from defense to offense, learned to call the play, and trusted their training mid-ride.
Analysis paralysis disguises itself as prudence, but in truth, it’s a silent performance killer.
Every delayed decision compounds into lost opportunity, drained energy, and stagnant culture.
Momentum, on the other hand, compounds confidence, and confidence builds culture.
Start asking a different question:
Not “Do I know enough?” but “Do I know enough to act?”
Because execution always outpaces evaluation.
Share this with your leadership team. Encourage one bold decision this week, at 40% certainty. Watch what that momentum does.
Your future self will be 100% grateful.
