You don't need the entire plan. You need the next move. Ever find yourself waiting until you have all the information before making a decision? I've been there. We convince ourselves that more information will give us more confidence. But sometimes, more information just gives us more reasons to wait. Here's a simple exercise to start your week: Think of one decision you've been putting off. Now ask yourself three questions: 1. What do I already know? 2. What am I still assuming? 3. What's one action I can take this week to test that assumption? You don't have to solve everything today. But you can stop standing still. Clarity doesn't always come before action. Sometimes action creates clarity. Your turn: What's one move you can make this week that gets you closer to a decision? Drop it below. Let's get moving.

Here’s something to start the week: Not making a decision is still a decision. We tend to think waiting keeps our options open. Sometimes it does. But sometimes waiting is quietly costing us — time, money, energy, opportunity, or sleep. So take one decision you’ve been putting off and ask: What is this costing me every week I don’t decide? Don’t rush to solve it. Just get honest about the cost. Because once the cost of staying where you are becomes clear, the decision often gets clearer too. What’s one decision you need to stop carrying into another week?

Hey Team, quick exercise for today. (And I'll start kicking more of these out on Mondays.) Think about one decision you’ve been circling. Not 10 decisions. Not your entire life or business. JUST One. Now finish these three sentences: The decision I need to make is: _______ If I keep avoiding it, it will cost me: _______ The thing making it difficult is: _______ Here’s why I’m asking. I’ve found that we often think we have a decision problem when we actually have a clarity problem. We’re trying to decide before we’ve clearly defined what we’re deciding. And that’s where the spinning starts. So don’t solve it yet. Just define it. Drop yours below. I’ll jump into the comments and help a few of you pressure-test whether you’re actually working on the right decision.

“Between shipping disruptions, the lack of containers, high costs because of what’s going on in the Red Sea and higher fertilizer costs, we have this period of disruption that we’ve never encountered before,” said Vojta, who founded the national coffee distributor more than three decades ago. “There’s just so much uncertainty.” https://edition.cnn.com/2026/09/20/economy/covid-diesel-supply-chain Has unstable become the new permanent now?

What's the one decision you've been avoiding? Not the one everyone else thinks you should make. The one that keeps showing up in your mind when things finally get quiet. I've learned something over the years... Most of us don't struggle because we don't know enough. We struggle because the weight of too many decisions makes it hard to know where to start. That's why the first step in Human 10.0 isn't learning another leadership model. It's creating enough clarity to make one better decision. That's exactly what the Leadership Diagnostic is designed to help you do. As you go through it, don't focus on finishing. Focus on discovering. Because one moment of clarity can change the direction of your career, your business, your relationships, or your life. Here's my challenge to you: Complete the Leadership Diagnostic this week. Then come back here and answer just one question: What decision are you finally ready to make? I'll be here reading every response. Let's grow together. — Michael
