For decades, I was taught to “delay the final decision” and keep every option open.

It sounds smart. It feels safe.

After years of leading complex engineering, architecture, and systems-driven work across multiple companies and sectors, one truth has become impossible to ignore:
𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Because in real systems and real organisations:
• Momentum beats optionality
• Teams rally around direction, not hesitation
• Progress creates better data than analysis ever will
• Course correction is almost always cheaper than delay

The “best” option rarely appears while you’re waiting.
It appears 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 you moved.

The image attached says it all: one path grows, the other stays flat.

In high-stakes engineering and leadership, indecision isn’t neutral.
