MAKE THE NEXT DECISION

Fight It. Flank It.
Let It Burn.

Three ways to respond. One question first: what consequence are you trying to change?

Fight It

Take direct action when it can meaningfully protect people or essential work. Check that you have the resources and authority to act safely.

Flank It

If the direct route is blocked, find another way to deliver what matters. A manual process, another supplier or a different location may keep work moving.

Let It Burn

Some work can stop. Some losses can be accepted. Protect your people and essential commitments by choosing what to leave alone.

Stop. Assess. Plan. Act. Debrief.

Pause long enough to understand the consequence. Make a plan for the next useful action. Act, then check what changed.
