Part 2 of 10 · Leadership lessons I wish I knew earlier
📌 2 — The most expensive decision? “let’s wait.”
Indecision is invisible until it becomes a crisis.
In my view, companies lose more through hesitation than through the occasional wrong call. Why?
Because action compounds; so does inaction.
In executive decisions, “Let’s wait” often feels safe. It isn’t. It quietly erodes momentum, talent, opportunity and morale.
As CFO, I’ve learned to ask one simple question:
“What is the cost of not deciding?”
Most leaders don’t calculate it. But it’s always there — and often huge.
Bold decisions don’t guarantee success. But indecision guarantees drift.
