Mike,
I like the commitment after careful consideration, esp when it includes consulting with other people in the mix and reflecting on core values.
I'm not sure about downgrading Plan B.

First, when working with others and providing care for others (I work primarily with health care providers) definitive action holds risk for their wellbeing. There is something to lose and it goes beyond whatever you have personally on the line.

Second, you can't fully anticipate everything. Real leadership requires monitoring for the unexpected, listening to others' points of view, accommodating culture perspectives that differ from whatever you brought along.

So, I prefer a full, enthusiastic commitment that is open to experience and mindful of whatever might happen and ready to adapt in the face of the evidence.

Just a thought
Michael
