Strategic Patience: Acting Fast by Waiting Wisely
September 9, 2025
The Illusion of Urgency
Rushing rarely creates results. Great strategists slow down early to move faster later, ensuring their momentum is built on insight, not impulse.
How to Practise Strategic Waiting
Pause until information converges, emotions settle, and probability clarifies. Acting too soon often costs more than acting too late.
Applying It Daily
- Delay non-critical decisions until clarity improves.
- Time actions to coincide with peak leverage moments.
- Treat pauses as preparation, not procrastination.
