Own goal?

HOW do most people make decisions? They look at a problem, weigh different solutions, looking at the pros and cons, then they decide what to do. If they still can’t decide, they call in other people and discuss what to do. Sometimes, the best action is to do nothing, to let things be.

But that’s not how some of our leaders operate. An incident happens which creates a lot of explosive noise of the human kind and someone feels the need to respond. Understandable. But there is such a thing as proportionality.
