“Speed is a habit.” — Eric Ries
Most teams don’t lose because they chose the wrong path—they lose because they waited. The time between having enough information and making a call is a hidden tax on revenue, morale, and momentum.
Business Tip:
Set a decision Service Level Agreement (SLA):
Everyday decisions (easy to change later): Decide within 24–48 hours.
Big decisions (hard to undo, high impact): Decide within 7 days, and make sure one person is clearly responsible for making the call, with the risks written down.
Track how long it actually takes your team to make decisions — like you’d track sales or expenses — because slow decisions cost money and momentum.
Why it works:
✅ Preserves momentum and opportunity windows
✅ Reduces rework caused by drift and ambiguity
✅ Builds a culture of ownership, not committees
Today’s Challenge:
Identify one stalled decision. Define the owner, deadline, and success criteria—then make the call.
Final Thought:
Indecision compounds costs faster than bad decisions corrected quickly.
