LEADERS et al

I'm just one opinion. But don't we want leaders who ultimately make the decisions and carry the responsibility? From the President to the business owner, to the coach to the first line supervisor I believe that is what we get paid for. Yes, take other opinions, do your research, trust your gut, then make a decision. And be prepared to sit back and take the criticism from the 20-20 hindsight armchair quarterbacks who don't have the ability, or possibly the guts, to make any decision. At least not one where they bear the sole responsibility. Hang together so no one can say you alone did that. I believe that's called courage whether it be in the workplace, on a camping trip, in a crisis, privately or on a worldwide stage.

Dithering doesn't get the job done or the battle won. Sometimes even when the decision is to do nothing.
