Loading ...This is a question I often ask myself before taking action or speaking up. I have to say this is situational and there is no right answer. I am posting here because I believe I may have some advice to help you to answer this question.
First and foremost, is this something that can wait until you have more time to think it over?
If the answer is yes…
I would strongly suggest waiting.
I would weigh the possible outcomes.
What are the odds of negative impact?
What’s the worst case scenario?
What would happen if you didn’t do or say anything?
Is there anyway to minimize any negative impact?
If the answer is no…
Can you subtly lead others in your direction?
If it’s a problem you would like to identify, ask questions that will lead others to the same problem. If it’s a solution, ask others about the problem and possibly hint at your solution.
In the end, I usually chose to take action and speak up, usually for moral reasons. However, I like to think people respect and stand behind someone for standing up for what they believe in.
I’d love to hear your experiences on this subject. Please feel free to pose a comment.
