Keeping the ship moving, and breaking ice at the bow, is a painful responsibility, but the person who does it is the person who transforms big organizations. Be the person who asks the persistent, and often annoying, questions. Don’t try to get everyone to agree. Instead, put people on the spot to share their objections. When there is ambiguity about the next step, call it out. Ambiguity kills great ideas, and great leaders kill ambiguity.
