Take initiative and apologize later

There are two ways to approach anything – to wait for permission or to take initiative and apologize later.

Yes, there are limits to this approach but too many people sit around waiting for permission most of the time. The problem? The people giving permission don’t often see the issue or the fix as clearly as you do.

So, go do it. Back yourself. Fix it. And apologize later if necessary. Here’s the funny part – it’s hardly ever necessary.
