There’s a comfortable luxury in not making the decision.

Sitting here with ambiguity, it’s a world of possibility, all avenues are open, every door is available, you can point your ship to any point on the compass. And if the dock isn’t burning, you can take your time, maybe wait a little longer until one path becomes obviously more interesting, cast around for a little more data, and a little more data, and just a little more data until, fantasy, the decision makes itself.

The down side? Such a waste of time and energy as everyone else is washing around or wandering off (maybe with an eye over their shoulder, just in case).

The impact of the down side? You lose good people as they find more interesting things to do.

You lose momentum.

And you still have to make the decision.

Skippy strategy: Decisions are what you do in a low-data environment.
