Lean forward
To "lean forward" is to take risk, whether it is wise or not. It is sometimes used in militaristic terms, as in "lean forward in the foxhole."
Typically, the user of this term wants it to be known that he or she is willing to die in place, but will not go down without a fight.
As in...
"I really think we need to lean forward on this one and go ahead and purchase the inventory."

So from what I'm hearing, we've got a commitment and c-level buy-in on the strategic job descriptions and going forward we are going to start calling Managers, Buttholes. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my take on the call.
