Chickening Out

 This is a phrase commonly used in the U.S., or in short question format, people say, Are you chicken? 

Many initiatives in organisations are killed because the top management chickens out. It could be resource allocation decisions, hiring decisions or even new projects.

The team is usually demotivated by these chicken and egg problems, and more savvy competitors win the battle.

Even if you are chicken, you must cross the road. Or else, you will remain where you are. And the braver ones will go across, and away.

Decision-making skill, thus, counts for a lot, is the moral of the short story.
