Jumping To Conclusion

PFR Interim Management Services Posted on October 27, 2012 by Peter FransNovember 5, 2024

A newspaper article told of a man who was walking toward an open subway car when he felt a body brush by him.  Instinctively, he reached for his pocket and discovered he didn’t have his wallet.  Shouting and running, he grabbed the person who had bumped against him.

He tugged wildly at the stranger’s sleeve, trying to stop him from escaping into the departing subway. The subway door slammed shut, but not before he had ripped off the suspected pick-pocket’s coat sleeve.

Later that night at home the man discovered his “stolen” wallet had been on his dresser all day. He had left home without it.

How often do we rush into things without thinking? Jumping to conclusions can lead to problems. Not only can we get upset and stressed, but we can hurt the feelings of innocent people or even do physical harm. To avoid problems, it is always best to follow the old adage, “look before you leap.”

To avoid going over the edge into the abyss of wrong conclusions, try these ideas from one with many bruises from hard landings.

First, keep cool. Apply the brakes to your racing mind and rising temper. When calm you think more clearly. Breathe deep, count to ten, or a hundred if necessary, and ask God to give you His peace and wisdom.

Secondly, think through the problem. Consider all the possibilities. Perception is not always reality. List your prejudices and assumptions.
Label the facts and your fabrications.

Finally, evaluate the solutions. Try the most positive answers first.

An Effective Leader is Decisive !

PFR Interim Management Services Posted on April 6, 2012 by Peter FransAugust 8, 2016

Decision-making is a basic ingredient of leadership. It is not important whether the leader actually comes up with the proposed actions or simply endorses them. The key is that the leader does make decisions. He or she overcomes the fear of failing or being second-guessed. A leader gathers as many facts as possible, consults with stakeholders and then decided on a course of actions. Once the decision is made the effective leader does not waste time on second thoughts. The … Continue reading →

Anton, a technical specialist at a Pharmaceutical Company, left his manager’s office and walked back to his desk. He sat there quietly for a moment staring at the window wall that faced the area he shared with several other technicians. Suddenly, Anton picked up the heavy urn that held the dozens of colored pens he used in his work. As his colleagues looked up from their desks, Anton dumped the pens on the floor and smiled at them. He stood … Continue reading →
