Having the courage to try

What do you do when a problem arises or a situation occurs that needs immediate action even though that action may not be completely thought through and the problem/situation may be less than defined?  Do you have the courage to try or do you wait for others to try and comfortably critique once you have seen the outcome?

Make a point to have the courage to try and own the result.  If you are one of those who rests comfortably on the sidelines while others try, you are only showing your cowardice and wasting your creativity. 

This hits at one of my management philosophies about not stating a problem without a suggested solution AND being prepared to own it…otherwise, don't bring it up.

Something to think about….

I promise to return more actively to blogging.  Been way busy and the sun is finally out in Seattle making 140 character updates via Twitter preferred.  You can follow me there @ReplyToAll.
