Whether you need a way to get out of conversations you’re not ready to have or don’t have time to have, or you’re not done with that project your boss gave you, sometimes the best thing you can do is BUY TIME. Buying time is an authentic skill and tool that allows you to disappoint someone in your circle of influence with grace, maturity and professionalism. It saves face for you as a leader, protects your personal brand, while also giving you time to breathe so you can thoughtfully engage with people and projects in a way that works well for everyone.
