Follow Me, Follow Us?



"None of us is as smart as all of us."

Japanese proverb


Very Zen, makes sense on many levels, however taken to the extreme, such thinking can lead to inaction, missed opportunity.

How do we balance the expected good from inclusiveness with the benefit that can come from following a decisive leader?

  1. Just like the specifics in plans, it's not that one is inherently better than the other. It's all about execution and balance.

    Get all the input that can reasonably be assimilated, make plans based on that, and then take action.

  2. Which (balance) I believe is the secret to all things in management.
