To set things right you have to see things right.
To make a good decision, you need to question your assumptions.
When I look back at the big mistakes I have made and had to fix later, I can see that I made assumptions I should not have.
Sometimes you say “This situation worked, so the next one with a different person will too.” But people are different.
“This worked in this business, so it will work in another business too.” But businesses are different.
You might assume that people will perform to your optimistic expectations.
Any projection on a spreadsheet is full of assumptions.
Sure, sometimes you have to have faith and try it and learn and make corrections as you go.
But still, the less you assume, the better.
So true!
