𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱

5 people walk in to a concert venue. The band is waiting for the crowd to gather
before starting. One of the people who walked in says, "Start." The band
hesitates, but starts playing as they get a nod from their manager.

30 seconds into their first song, 3 more people walk in. They apologise for the
delay citing some other concert that got extended. They request the band to
start from the top. The band members look at the manager who in turn looks at
the first 5 who came. They nod sternly. The band restarts.

10 seconds into the song, the boss arrives. The 5 that arrived first and the 3
that followed all get up promptly and ask the band to stop. The boss takes his
throne and snaps his fingers. The band starts playing for the 3rd time.

After the performance, the boss walks up to the band and says, "It was nice, but
it lacked energy."

An idea presentation is not too different. With every interruption and restart,
the presenter's energy drops. Because even a seasoned showstopper, if tripped
constantly on the ramp, can be unsettled.

So the next time you present an idea, try to round up all the stakeholders.
Might not always work out, but hey, there's no harm in trying.
