Vision doesn’t move an organization forward. Initiative does. Strategy decks don’t create progress until someone takes the first step. But leaders often wait. ❌ Wait for more data. ❌ Wait for the perfect plan. ❌ Wait for flawless timing. But perfection never arrives. And the cost of waiting is steep. Trust erodes, momentum stalls, and teams disengage. Initiative is the difference. It’s the bridge between theory and practice. The choice that turns a concept into movement. What does it look like in real life? ✅ Picking up the phone when the conversation feels uncomfortable ✅ Giving feedback you’d rather avoid ✅ Raising your hand when others stay quiet ✅ Moving forward even when the outcome is uncertain These aren’t grand gestures. They’re small steps. But those steps compound. They build confidence. They set a rhythm others follow. Action creates the momentum that vision alone never will. Leaders who move show their teams what’s possible. Leaders who hesitate show their teams it’s safer to stand still. The pattern is clear: clarity + movement = results. 💪 👇 What’s one initiative you’ve been putting off that deserves action today? 🔁 Repost to share with your network. 📩 Follow Leland Sapp for more on the Leadership Ideal
