Time & space

In hockey, "creating time and space" is a phrase often used in offensive strategy. Players should try to put distance between themselves and their opponents, gaining the freedom to make creative plays, catch defensemen off-guard, and execute the best moves. If you don’t do this, you often run out of room, and are forced to take a low percentage shot or turn the puck over.

The same principle applies in business. Without time and space, innovative decisions are unlikely. By delegating tasks, re-prioritizing, or returning to core principles, you can carve out the necessary time and space to make unique and impactful choices.
