Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 197
When we develop long-range strategic plans, such as capital investment, a change in standard operating guidelines (SOGs), or a potential reduction in service, we need to slow down the thought process and ensure that all options have been weighed and measured for their downstream effects. We must use an analytical thought process when it is appropriate. Conversely, when we are focused on emergency operations, we have to make decisions without 100% of the data and do it in a timely manner. The 60% correct answer right now is often more effective than the 100% right answer 2 minutes too late. Remember the old maxim, "Anything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all."
