EXECUTION is doing the thing that was prepared as a practical expression of serving your commitments with honor.

What keeps people from executing on their commitments according to their preparations?

1. Fear of Failure or Inadequacy
   Many avoid execution due to anxiety about failing, not doing it perfectly, or being judged for imperfect results
   

2. Lack of Clarity or Direction on what to do next
   Plans that are too vague or ambiguous lead to confusion, overwhelm, and inaction
   

3. Waiting for Ideal Conditions
   People often postpone action, awaiting more information, better timing, more resources, or feeling “ready”
   

4. Procrastination and Low Motivation
   Putting things off due to a lack of motivation or energy, sometimes stemming from exhaustion or burnout
   

5. Lack of Accountability, Buy-In, or Commitment
   Absence of strong commitment to the plan, either individually or across a team, reduces follow-through
   

6. Unforeseen Obstacles or Changing Priorities
   Emergencies, shifting work or family obligations, and unexpected disruptions lead people to abandon their plans
   

7. Poor Communication or Coordination
   Failure to clearly communicate roles, timelines, or progress undermines plan execution—especially in groups or organizations
