Good leadership timing requires many things: Understanding—leaders must have a firm grasp on the situation. Maturity—if leaders’ motives aren’t right, their timing will be off. Confidence—people follow leaders who know what must be done. Decisiveness—wishy-washy leaders create wishy-washy followers. Experience—if leaders don’t possess experience, then they need to gain wisdom from others who do possess it. Intuition—timing often depends on intangibles, such as momentum and morale. Preparation—if the conditions aren’t right, leaders must create those conditions.
