Tom Peters touchpoint
What gets worse if this stays unclear?
The useful method is not the hero. The pressure read is.
The owner needs more discipline, more tools, or a cleaner plan.
The next move is still too foggy, too large, or too private to meet reality.
Delay is not neutral. It charges cash, trust, attention, and timing.
