“Almost” Leading

“Leaders must beware of leading from the “almost” tense.

Though you cannot measure this gap in cognitive inches or minutes, the “almost” tense is the furthest you can be from the present.

Leaders in the “almost” tense convince themselves that they are just on the edge of a breakthrough.

Thus, they remain forever outside of the only zone a leader can truly lead from – the productive present tense.”
