There is always Plan A: "Do nothing"
- This is actually different from "do no harm"; do-no-harm could be Plan B
- Following that theme, sticking with Plan A could actually be harmful ... thus, Plan B could be not only less harmful but also could be essential for limiting harm
So, presume there is always Plan A, and good management principles say: there should be a Plan B
- What about Plan C or D? Shouldn't decision makers always have alternatives to consider? Why be narrow?
- More important: why be self-delusional that there is "no other choice". No other choice, is, in a word: nonsense!
- ".... the ability to change one’s mind is a crucial mark of intelligence and maturity ... " (Bret Stephens)
