HI, Scott:)

Excellent post about "sinning by omission":).   As I have often heard in my career, doing nothing is just as much a decision as doing something, and leaders at all points in their leadership journey can be affected by the paralysis of non-action.

I really enjoyed how you clearly showed the "ripple effect" that comes from inaction.  This seems obvious when pointed out, as you have done so nicely, but is often lost in the shuffle as a leader grapples with not knowing what to do or being unwilling to do what they know they should.

Your points about resolving conflict are especially well taken.  As a younger leader, I too often adopted the stance that "maybe this problem will fix itself" and did nothing, which worked JUST often enough to reinforce my adversion to action.

As a more seasoned leader, I now feel as I have a much better grasp of that delicate balance between technical and intuitive knowledge to judge when a situation might benefit from a little more time and when I am just stalling:).

Enjoyed this informative and well-constructed post!
