In business, many times the lack of any decision (good or bad) wastes valuable time. Especially for leaders, unblocking teams to move forward has real value beyond whether or not the actual decision is optimal. A great many decisions are reversible. If your decision is reversible (even at some expense), it may be better to just decide and move on. In many cases, you don't have perfect information anyway, so trying to make the right decision causes you to delay the very experiments necessary to get you to an optimum outcome.

And sometimes it is the better decision to postpone the decision to a moment later in time you have more information.
