Make reversible decisions quickly

Make reversible decisions quickly

Make reversible decisions as soon as possible. Speed is the one advantage that your company can control:

“Some decisions are consequential and irreversible or nearly irreversible – one-way doors – and these decisions must be made methodically, carefully, slowly, with great deliberation and consultation. If you walk through and don’t like what you see on the other side, you can’t get back to where you were before. But most decisions aren’t like that – they are changeable, reversible – they’re two-way doors. If you’ve made a suboptimal decision, you don’t have to live with the consequences for that long. You can reopen the door and go back through. Reversible decisions can and should be made quickly by high judgment individuals or small groups.” --Jeff Bezos

I'll leave you a reminder of?these famous lines that apply every time:

“Be fast, have no regrets. If you need to be right before you move, you will never win. Speed trumps perfection. Perfection is the enemy of the good. Everyone is afraid of making a mistake. Everyone is afraid of the consequence of error. But the greatest error is not to move. The greatest error is to be paralyzed by the fear of failure. You must be the first mover.” -- Dr Mike Ryan, WHO
