“Procrastination is totally a good thing.
You always have something to do tomorrow,
plus you have nothing to do today.”
After all, what is a delay if not a refined form of prioritisation?
A wise leader never rushes; they simply wait for the perfect alignment of circumstances — or, more elegantly, for someone else to act first.
It is not laziness; it is time-based delegation. By postponing decisions, leaders grant their teams the precious gift of suspense: “Will the boss finally decide today?” It adds tension, drama, and a touch of character building — a corporate thriller in real time.
Procrastination guarantees continuity: there is always something left for tomorrow — meetings to redo, reports to recheck, crises to revisit.
Thus, today stays calm, tomorrow stays busy, and if things collapse in between, the team gains independence the hard way — another brilliant leadership result.
After all, who ever said you wanted your subordinates to have an easy life?
