In leadership—and life—what you ignore expands.
The brain is a master of efficiency. It loves to delay discomfort, defer decisions, and avoid tough conversations. But what you push aside today doesn’t disappear—it compounds.
What feels “too small to deal with right now” often becomes “too big to ignore later.”
Unspoken tension becomes team dysfunction.
Unclear expectations become unmet goals.
Unexpressed appreciation becomes disengagement.
Leader Tip:
Catch it while it’s small. Ask yourself:
- What’s one truth I need to speak sooner?
- What tension needs a quick check-in before it escalates?
- What win or contribution needs to be recognized today?
Because when it comes to leadership, delay is expensive—and early is powerful.
