Perhaps we don’t. Most things aren’t predictable. And being uncertain, unsure about what to do next, is a natural condition of change. But, change can’t happen without a push forward, without someone who chooses to go, and to take responsibility for something which might not work…someone who chooses to lead.
Change agents come our way every day, often fast and furiously. I Don’t Know is a good response to create an intentional pause…to give ourselves time to think. But the important part is what comes next…what comes after I Don’t Know? And, blanks don’t count.
We need less I Don’t Know and more I Don’t Know But/And…Choose Wisely.
