I need to think about it...

"I need to think about it"

Is a legit answer.

To your managers, to your employees, to your colleagues.

It doesn’t mean you don’t know. It doesn’t mean they do.

It means you may need more time to think it through. You need to process your learnings, to rearrange your thoughts, to follow your insights, to be less inhibited, to navigate your way to a possible solution.

It means you need more time. It means you have the right and obligation to come up with a say. So you could move forward.

We're in a rush to do or be something better, faster, to nail it.

We in a rush from one meeting to another, from one task to another, juggling between projects.

Take the time to learn, to process, to think it through, so you can be better prepared. Take the time to think.
