In a world where decisions are taken at high speed, leaders sometimes need to stop in order to move forward. A sparring partner offers this space to step back, which may seem counter-intuitive, but which enables the leader to strengthen his or her posture and clarify choices.
By taking time to reflect and adjust their course, leaders can not only respond to immediate challenges, but also anticipate those to come.
