The person who moves first often learns what everyone waiting could not.

The information that matters is generated by contact, and only participants get it. Everyone waiting is watching from a position where the useful details are invisible, which means they will still be waiting with the same incomplete picture next year. Moving first buys knowledge, not just position.

Where a group is stuck deliberating, offer to run a small trial. The report you bring back will reorganize the discussion faster than any further argument.
