Problem: You hesitate. Not because you don’t know what to do — but because the stakes feel high, the inputs aren’t clear, and you don’t want to be wrong. Meanwhile, your peers are making faster moves.

Solution: Leadership isn’t about having perfect answers. It’s about directional calls that move things forward, especially when the data is fuzzy.

How To Address It:

• Define your “minimum viable decision” — what’s the smallest next step?• Use a 70% rule: act when you’re ~70% sure, not 100%
• Practice “thinking out loud” — clarity improves with articulation
• Create space for reversibility: build in the right to adjust
• Debrief fast decisions to build pattern recognition

You don’t need more certainty. You need more momentum. Working with a career development coach can help you build judgment and agility at speed.
