A choice can require additional data or more time. Members of the team need further deliberation to make an informed call. The customer has to check budget allocations. You're unsure it’s aligned with the overall strategy. Waiting can be justified but excuses can also be the reason we wait. Some decisions require time, others aren't made because we're in the way.
We look for leadership to be decisive and crisp. It’s about helping people get better, keeping everyone on track, and getting stuff done. But it isn't always smooth in real life. How often have you finally pull the pin on something to discover it wasn't a big deal after all or you feel a sense of relief you made a choice?
Here’s some inspiration as we deliberate

the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
