Hi
What is "stay on the front foot" in business?
The context is related to a company's momentum.
thanks

I assume it suggests being ready to move forwards, to make new progress.
I think it comes from the sport of cricket, where having one's weight on the front foot is associated with attacking play.
But there may be other - and better - explanations.
hope helps,
ian
