“No” To The Short Runs

Garth Beyer

In It For The Long Runs

Times it’s okay to say no:

  • When you don’t know all the details of the task to effectively execute.
  • When it helps you but not those you work with or care about.
  • If it’s in the opposite direction of your dreams.
  • If there’s no clear deadline or deliverable.
  • When you’d have to give up a significant amount of family time.
  • When it will hurt the culture you’ve built.
  • If you wouldn’t tell your significant other about it.
  • Often when you hear “Can you just this one time?”
  • If it means you’ll be standing still.

Times it’s okay to say yes:

  • When the opportunity is there to do something meaningful
