“We’ll deal with that later.” I’ve heard leaders say it about a tough conversation, a struggling employee, a broken process, or a decision they know needs to be made.
Usually, “later” means after the next hire. After this quarter. After we land that big client. After things calm down. But things rarely calm down.
The longer you avoid a leadership issue, the more expensive it becomes in time, trust, morale, and momentum.
*Leadership debt collects interest.* What conversation or decision have you been putting off?
