What Exactly Are You Waiting to Happen?

The Hidden Costs of Leadership Delay

The script reflects on how warmer weather invites relaxation, then challenges leaders to examine procrastinated decisions, conversations, commitments, projects, and changes by asking coaching clients, “What exactly are you waiting to happen?”

It distinguishes deliberate, strategic delay from indefinite postponement that avoids discomfort, prompting questions about whether leaders are waiting for information, capacity, confidence, or clarity—and noting that confidence, clarity, and momentum often follow action.

It argues delay is not neutral and can cost performance, relationships, credibility, and peace of mind, urging leaders to define triggers, set review dates, and make delays purposeful.

It promotes a The Applied Leader podcast episode on the “not now decision,” includes an Epictetus quote, and describes The Applied Leader podcast subscription details, pricing, worksheets, access, and cancellation terms.
