Reasoned response or knee-jerk reaction.  Leaders get persistent chances to choose.

When there is a life-threatening emergency we react doing the best we can as quickly as we can

Business situations generally are not life-threatening yet leaders often react as if they are.

Lack of facts, weak courage, political correctness and our own personal biases/filters can cause stupid reaction rather than smart response. Take a breath or two and respond in a reasoned fashion – be smart.    I’m the Outsider and that’s what I think.
