Someone once told me that when the principal "moves the handle six inches, some ninth grader jumps ten feet."

"No matter how “big” or “small” the decision is, people are affected by the decisions that leaders make. The key question here is when is the best time for leaders to think about those “ripples” from the decisions you make?

Before making a decision ask yourself, "Who do I need to involve?"

If every decision has a rippling effect, why count on one ripple? What if you could create multiple ripples? You might create a wave? Why not involve more people in the decisions? Involving more people has the potential to create a beneficial effect. Instead of creating an irritation with your single ripple, why not create a wave with a collaborative decision?

Accountability demands involvement!
