We’re waiting for…
Waiting for what? Think about the phrase. What does it tell your boss? What about that venture capitalist you are trying to woo?
It says that you aren’t leaders. Your team can’t improvise. You are not problem solvers. You just don’t have what it takes to be successful. In a nutshell, that phrase says you either can’t find a solution, or you are content with being where you are. Neither of those possibilities are worthwhile.
Be the person that doesn’t wait. Make the decision. Build the task list. Make every possible effort to find the information your team needs to finish successfully. Be the driver.
Just don’t ever be content with waiting.
