It’s incredible at how much respect you receive simply by making a decision.
The waiters who receive the largest tips are the ones who, when asked what they like on the menu, don’t say “everything is good.”
The project managers who are trusted to manage future projects aren’t the ones that when asked “Should we keep running through this or jump to the end of the brief?” say “Either is fine.”
People ask you, pay you and trust you to have an opinion.
Yes, even if that opinion is wrong. And that’s the beauty of relationships; even if you’re wrong, they trust you’ll learn from the mistake.
Stay Positive & Go Ahead, Make The Call
