Consequences are hard Tanja and particularly when we don't expect them. Some can be foreseen but it is the unintended consequences that are a real issue and often not understood within organizations. I did like your own quote: "When making decisions one very relevant question for me is if am I willing to bear the consequences, even if I don‘t know them." Often - we don't know them because we fail to think about the consequences before we act. Your post is a great reminder to think more deeply about consequences.
Thank you, Reuben, and you are absolutely right that we often fail to even think about all the consequences, which is normal unless you happen to have a functioning crystal ball, hence my take on it. Happy weekend and again good luck with the election tomorrow! 🤞🏻
