Leadership Thought #202 – Do You Always Wait Until The Last Minute?
I have heard many leaders tell me they always wait to do something until the last minute because they perform best under this type of pressure. This seems like a form of justification to me. I know that when I procrastinate on something, it is not because it is the best way to work — it is often quite the opposite. I would rather not do whatever it is because I view it as drudgery, am unsure how to proceed, or I’m not sure I’ll be pleased by the outcome. I cannot conceive of any situation where deliberately exerting time pressure until the final moment makes sense.
