Lots of of my readers call my office if they are involved in a negotiation and require assistance. I am always happy to help them if I am there. If I am away on a speaking trip, I'll always return the call when I get back in to town. Over the years, I have learned an fascinating thing. If I am out of town and unable to call them back for a few days, in over half the cases, the issue has gone away by the time I reach them. In over half the cases, the best solution to the issue was to make no decision at all.
When faced with an issue or a chance you require to ask yourself what happens in the event you pick to do nothing? Will the situation improve or deteriorate?
You have lots of choices but you don't know which to pick.
There's only types of issues, people issues and money issues. But within those categories, there's lots of different kinds of issues. For example:
* You don't see any solution to the issue.
* When faced with an issue or a chance you require to ask yourself what happens in the event you pick to do nothing? Will the situation improve or deteriorate?
Any time you are faced with a do they or don't they decision you first thought ought to be, "What happens if they do nothing."
* It is a do they or don't they decision. Do they buy the new office building or don't they? Do they hire this person or don't they?
Hundreds of law enforcement officers laid siege to the compound. The incident became a national affair and it fell to Attorney General Janet Reno to pick what to do. After a 51-day standoff they gave orders to invade. The defenders promptly set fire to the compound and 76 died in an horrific mass suicide.
The decision to invade the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Illinois was a do they or don't they decision. A religious sect had barricaded itself in to the Mount Carmel religious retreat. When ATF officers approached their compound to select in the event that they were breaking gun laws, of them were shot and killed.
It ought to have been clear to the authorities that there was no compelling reason to invade. The right solution to the issue would have been to cordon off the area and do nothing. By the time the FBI was faced with the Montana Freemen rebellion years later they had learned the lesson. They did nothing and 81 days later the rebels surrendered without a shot being fired.
Janet Reno ought to have thought, "What happens if they do nothing?" They explained that they had to act because children were being abused inside the compound. Sorry, Janet, but this was basically untrue. When the FBI sent food supplies in to the rebels they cleverly planted microphones in the milk cartons. They could listen to every word spoken, and you can read the transcripts on the Web. There was no kid abuse.
Before you take action select this: in the event you do nothing, will the issue worsen, or better? If it is not going to worsen, give it some time and see if it doesn't go away.
