Action

Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway. (John Wayne)

It all comes down to you. (Joni Mitchell)

It all comes down to do. (Peter McWilliams)

Ideas are for action. (Aristotle)

Knowledge is nothing without action. Nothing changes until you do something. What you do will directly determine what you learn. - James A. Belasco Ralph C. Stayer, Flight of the Buffalo

Some reasons given for not doing something . . .

1. We’ve been moving too fast. We have to slow down and get this right.

2. We could never afford to take this kind of risk.

3. If we make a big push on this, people will think it is just another program.

4. Many of our people will never accept this. They will not want to change.

We have been hearing about what “they” will or will not do for years. We have never been able to find one “they” in a company. “They” always seem to be in the next room, the next level, the next division, the next building, the bathroom...

5. But we’re a big company. But we’re a small company. But we have a union. But we don’t have a union. But we’re a private company. But we’re a public company. But the wind is blowing from the east and its Tuesday . . .
