Stop waiting for perfect: take the shot and build momentum
Executive overview
Procrastination and perfectionism stall companies more than bad decisions do. Waiting for the ideal moment means fewer shots taken and less momentum built.
The fix is delegating decision-making authority so leaders act without approval chains. A four-question filter replaces the need for sign-off.
Momentum creates momentum — the shot you don't take is always a miss.
The four-question decision filter
- Is this decision in line with our core values?
- Is it within my defined responsibilities?
- Is it within my budget?
- Am I willing to live with the result?
If yes to all four, make the decision and roll it out.
How to unblock your team
- Remove yourself as the bottleneck by empowering managers to decide independently
- Apply the filter to any project — no approval needed if all four answers are yes
- Accept that some shots will miss; learning from both wins and failures drives progress
