How to use lag in a sentence?

  1. Ari Seth Cohen:

    Spending two days with her in Montenegro, there was no complaints about jet lag. She stayed up longer than anyone the whole trip. She was dancing, she was joyful, she was giving, her whole philosophy about aging (is) how we're constantly recycling ourselves and how there really is no age -- it's really just a matter of your mindset. Seeing a 97-year-old woman that vital, for me, is incredibly powerful.

  2. Francesca Lagerberg:

    Despite considerable efforts by governments and campaigners across the world's best-developed economies to ensure best practice they continue to lag behind emerging markets in (the diversity) area, this poor performance seems to be at least partly a result of entrenched societal norms. In the UK and US in particular, there are still plentiful examples of a 'command and control' approach to leadership which is not necessarily attractive to women.

  3. Tara Swart:

    A hotel makes for a particularly interesting place to observe differences in mental resilience, and be able to offer suggestions as to how it might be improved, it's a unique microcosm filled with people under differing types and degrees of mental pressure, from jet lag to meetings to poor sleep.

  4. Tiger Woods:

    The guys who have done well have been wonderful feel players and also wonderful lag putters, it( winning in your 50s) certainly can be done.

  5. Max Stier:

    You have an administration that got off to a very slow start filling its leadership positions, and continues to lag even now, the added element is the amount of turnover, especially at the top.
