Driving While Looking In The Rearview Mirror

I find it amusing that weeks after
the decision has been made,
the talking heads are still discussing
whether or not the financial bailout
should have happened.

A useless exercise.

As a businessleader,
you are paid to make decisions.

If it is a good decision,
you tuck that knowledge away for later
and move forward.

If it is a bad decision
(and you will make bad decisions,
that is a guarantee),
you take action to recover from it,
tuck that knowledge away for later,
and move forward.

There is no undo button
once a decision has been made and implemented
(even partially).
Keep looking forward.
