The Promise: Decisive Leadership
Mission Objective
Install a leadership frame that converts vague "maybes" into definitive responses through specific invitation protocols.
Understand how specific, leader-led invitations reduce ambiguity and increase clear "yes" or "no" decisions.
Most men float ideas and hope the other person plans. This shifts the leadership burden and creates decision paralysis. Leaders set a concrete plan and make "yes" effortless.
