A sub-title of a magazine article, We live in a golden age of dithering, made me wonder . . . when is it good to change your mind?

It wasn’t long before I came up with a substantial list:

• When you’ve listened to great feedback and know you need to change
• When you and everyone around you can see that your decision didn’t work
• When the problem-solving you did didn’t solve the problem
• When someone else had a better idea
• When circumstances or your context change
• When you need to be more flexible than you’d imagined
• When you’ve ruled it out and can now rule it in
• When you’ve seen the results of the analysis
• When you’ve listened to someone else’s opinion
• When you’ve asked questions and got the right answers
• When you know the truth
• When you can finally admit you were wrong, or they were right
• When you’re not afraid
• When you’re a great leader
