"Sometimes you need to take a step back" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"Sometimes you need to take a step back"

What they really mean

I'm going on vacation and turning it into a leadership lesson

"Sometimes you need to take a step back to move two steps forward. Last week in Bali taught me that."

"I went to a resort and now I'm pretending sitting by a pool was a strategic business decision."

It was absolutely a failure

Our original idea failed catastrophically

We made an app for something that already works fine
