“Strategy without patience is just anxiety with a plan. Give your decisions time to breathe before you abandon them.”
May 27 is the birthday of Christopher Lee — one of the most prolific and patient actors in cinema history, who spent decades in character roles before finding global icon status well into his later years. He never rushed his legacy. It is also the birthday of Henry Kissinger, whose approach to geopolitics was always long-horizon — understanding that the most significant outcomes in diplomacy rarely happen quickly, and that impatience is one of the costliest mistakes a strategist can make. Business Strategist Hirav Shah sees this play out in business constantly. Entrepreneurs make a sound decision, wait three weeks for results, feel nothing, and then abandon the strategy — only to watch someone else execute the same idea six months later with remarkable success. The decision was right. The patience was missing. Most strategies that work require more time than we are comfortable giving them.
