Hide away
It’s lovely to have options.
Forward or back, left or right, in or out, green or blue.
It’s great to hold all the cards and play them,…
When there’s trouble, when there’s an issue, when there’s a clear and obvious problem, it’s ofter an option to hide in the shadows until it all blows over. (Maybe they won’t notice.)
Maybe some obfuscation, a bit of bluster, sweeping in the direction of a lifted carpet. Look the other way and county-level blame-casting.
None of which are smart choices but they certainly are popular ones.
The alternative – the wise, professional, the grown-up alternative – is to look the issue in the eye, work out what’s happening, take responsibility and deal with the reality you find.
It might be more expensive. It might be painful and possibly face-losing, but it’s the way to resolve the situation.
On the way you’ll live up to your responsibilities, make things better and learn a bunch of lessons (including what it means when you take leadership seriously).
