Whenever there’s a public example
of bad police policy
in the U.S.,
the police department
in my Canadian city
reviews their own policies.
Our city’s police department
has their own incidents.
They COULD wait
until one of those happen.
But it is much less costly
(in lives, goodwill, other resources)
to learn by
another department’s example,
to use the other department’s
high profile case
as a reason to review policy
and to make changes.
I try to do the same thing
with my businesses.
When another business
in my industry
gets into trouble,
I review my own policies,
my own actions.
That has greatly increased
both my success
and my happiness levels.
Try to learn by others’ example.
It is MUCH more efficient
and MUCH less painful.
