Leadership and the cost of unmade decisions

The expensive decisions in most businesses are the ones nobody has taken yet.

Unmade decisions consume capacity quietly. Teams work around them, plans hedge, and opportunities age.

Naming the decision, and the information required to take it, is often the highest-value thing a leadership team can do in a quarter.

Strategy work should end with decisions taken, not options presented.
