Today's Meditation:
Last
night, in one of the boating DIY/Restoration forums I'm on - a question
was raised about how to repair some wood rot in the transom of a boat.
There
was, once again, a diverse discussion - with some folks making
suggestions - clearly overdrawing against their "experience account"
balances. But, a few sharp experienced individuals - were quick to point
out that there is only one option to effect a proper repair. I would
sail with any one of those skippers, any day - because I would have
confidence in their attention-to-detail, seamanship, the proper
maintenance of their vessel, and their ability to make correct
decisions.
You see, a transom is a critical component of a vessel
- and you cannot do any half-way repair job - and maintain confidence
in the integrity of the hull.
All of this led me to an epiphany
during my regular weekend brunch at a local resort today, by the ocean -
resulting in a new Rule of Meeks being defined:
Rule #211: Indecision in an organization is like rot in a wooden boat. It must be cut out - and replaced.
