The worst thing you can do is nothing

We all know the famous line from Spider Man: With great power comes great responsibility.
We all know the famous line from Spider Man: With great power comes great responsibility.
As a leader, one of our responsibilities is to help our teams and organizations take the next step. This might sound simple but often the next step looks risky or we are not sure what the next step even is!
Teddy Roosevelt once said: “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing".
Leaders need to have a bias toward action. This does not mean we should be reckless. Only that we should be constantly scanning the environment for the next possible steps and help everyone around us be bold enough to take them.
Sometimes the next step won’t be the optimal step, but it’s necessary to take none the less in order to find the optimal path.
One step backwards or sideways followed by two steps forward is almost always better than analysis paralysis.
