Good, Bad and Reactionary Timing—Making Decisions

The basic opportunity for any mission to make progress lies in the value of timing. Knowing how and where to make a move, when to begin and communicate the move, and why the move is being made is just as important as the actual goal. 

Is any time the right time to act? Bad timing on when to communicate or take action can be disastrous, especially when it’s done as part of a reactionary move. Without a strategic plan and foundation in place, reactionary moves are high-risk actions that are executed with less integrity. On the opposite side, very good timing can turn a simple message or small-scale action into big gains and positive momentum. Knowing when to make the investment or job offer, when to make the pitch to stakeholders or investors, when to change policy, or when to launch a new venture or project is essential for growth and stability. 

Understanding the importance of timing is critical for high organizational performance. History showcases plenty of examples for bad, reactionary, and good organizational timing.
