Blog Post : The Full Scope

Be mindful of all factors that are involved in the situation before you, especially if they involve others around you. Every person goes through hundreds of decisions a day whether they be major decisions like choosing a job or minor decisions like choosing what to have for dinner. Bottom line is that any decision a person makes always involves a certain amount of cause for their decision and its result, essentially cause and effect. Although one can argue to which side is more important, like the saying “Does the ends justify the means?”, there is no doubt that both sides should be considered.

In the professional world, these types of decisions take on a whole new perspective where an infinite amount of factors may come in play. A few examples can include wages, managements, hierarchies, protocols, relationships between coworkers, etc. Therefore, making rash decisions in the workplace with little to no understanding of the situation and its outcomes is not recommended. Also, decisions are not limited to high stakes company ones. Even minor ones can make a huge difference. For example, you have walked into your workplace and decided to say “Good Morning!’ to your boss or coworker. Just by saying that simple phrase, you have increased good relations and are thereby more likely to be favored. It’s not like saying this will get you a promotion but it’s certainly a start.

People should not be goalies (like in soccer). If you’re not doing anyone any harm, I will either step aside and/or assist you.
