U turn OK

Sometimes the carefully conceived, extensively discussed and finally agreed upon way forward, may simply be the wrong decision.

It is reassuring to make decisions. We make them all the time in the Board Room. Once we have made a decision we can delete all the thought processes, all the information in the inbox, because we have pressed ‘send and receive’. It’s gone, it’s over and we can move on to the next issue.

Trouble is when the decision is wrong, we have to row back upstream, we have to dig out all the stuff from deleted items, we have to engage with people that we have already told one thing, and now we have to tell them something else.

As my sixteen year old would say, “It’s all OK, get over it”
