"A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week." As World War II U.S. Army General George S. Patton Jr. notes, an 80% solution executed promptly is more effective than a delayed perfect plan, especially in high-pressure situations. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, or managing your household, there is always an element of chaos and uncertainty you have to manage. There is no 100% correct solution to problems. Leaders must make small, timely, iterative decisions based on what they know now. Then, reassess, reevaluate, and make adjustments where needed. The key is to be confident while mitigating the risks you can control. Use your experience, assess the situation, and lean into your team's insights to make the best possible call.
