Delusional optimism

Being optimistic, positive and confident is always a better option then the alternative. However, it is important not to ignore challenges, problems and issues you and your organization (perhaps even the entire industry) are facing today. Delaying, postponing, deferring challenging conversations and decisions will almost always come back to haunt you with even a higher price tag.

Face the music, be brave, lead others and have the challenging conversations which must be had and then, most importantly take action and keep adjusting to the market demands and currents in which you function and operate.
