What is Opportunity Cost?
In simple terms, opportunity cost refers to the benefits you miss out on when you choose one option over another.
In other words, "opportunity cost" is what you're NOT able to do, because you're spending your time, energy, and resources on something else.
Why Opportunity Cost Matters
It's common for organizational leaders to fall into a trap, driven by a desire to manage resources wisely, save money, and get the highest return on investment. It sounds noble to keep things in house, or for the leader to do the work themselves. But this DIY mindset can be costly.
There comes a point where there just isn't enough time to do everything that you could or should do, to help your organization grow and thrive. Where your time, mental and emotional energy are more limited than the financial resources at your disposal.
Instead of simply working hard and trying to keep things afloat, there comes a point where the leader must ask "I can't do everything... what are the most impactful things that I can spend my time and energy on?"
