A common pattern that I see in people who are new in leading positions is they try to maximize the results.

What’s that even mean?

That in order to get the best results, you have to seize the right time.

At uni, it might work.

In real-life… not so much.

Because it’s about waiting. Waiting for the right time. Time that might never come (as perfect as expected).

In business, the right time is not too early, nor too late.

The right time is when you make a decision.

A decision that might be bad. Yet, with it, you can steer.

Just like riding a bike.

If it’s standing with not movement, you can direct the handle and still be where you are.

It’s when you’re moving on the bike that you give direction.
