When they shout

Things will go bad.

Not everything.

Not always.

But sometimes, despite best efforts, it just does.

When that happens, of course you have to deal with the issues, and of course you’ll feel bad about the badness, and of course, eventually, there’ll be an end to it and you’ll get back to something more like business as usual.

Knowing that bad things will happen, and knowing the effort it takes to deal with them when they do, it makes sense to set up alerts that shout at the earliest opportunity.

It’s better to know.

When you know, there’s good news about the bad news – you saw it coming.

You’re able to sort it out, to mitigate its impact, to keep everyone so well informed that the thing going bad wasn’t so bad after all.

Skippy strategy: Set up early warning systems and pay attention when they shout.
