Yesterday’s post on MLK has had me thinking further about making the courageous decisions.

For the too-busy manager, here are two alternative ways to say Yes.

1. Slowly

We say Yes too quickly.

Delay the moment, ask more questions and find out what you’re letting yourself in for.

What if the default answer was No until proven otherwise?

2. Completely

We say Yes too weakly.

If you’re clear that this is worth saying Yes to, say it with the intention of full and bold commitment.

What if the only way was All In?
