Your Team Is Waiting

Why leaders must enable action, not wait for perfect answers.

The biggest reason your team is stuck?
They’re waiting for you.

Not for perfect answers.
Not for every unknown to be solved.
They’re waiting for clarity.

In The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, one of the key pillars is simple but powerful: Enable Others to Act.
- Remove friction.
- Foster collaboration.
- Build confidence.

When people know the next step, momentum builds.

Here’s how I approach it:
- Anchor: What outcome are we aiming for?
- Ask: What can we decide right now?
- Act: What action can be done today?

Leadership isn’t about having all the answer — it’s about enabling action.
