The Hidden Cost of “Let’s Wait and See”

When big decisions stall out, momentum dies—and the silence isn’t neutral. In this episode, Yoni Greenbaum unpacks why organizational indecision is so common, what it actually costs, and how leaders (and their teams) can break the stall before it breaks the mission.

Expect:

• A real-world case study of a board that voted—but never acted

• Tools for moving forward, even when clarity is scarce

• Strategies for both decision-makers and those stuck waiting

• A fresh lens on why “pausing” isn’t always the safest option

Whether you're running a newsroom, leading a nonprofit, or guiding a product team, this episode offers a practical roadmap for leading through the fog—and keeping things moving.
