Context

Context is crucial. Misreading it can turn a wise move into a foolish one. Avoiding context's influence is an invitation for failure and yet.

And yet.

It is so easy to fall in love with the details of a quick and narrow decision while overlooking factors which will govern the decision's potential.

Personalities, history, turf, psychology, and timing can shape the action. Today's agenda item may be perceived as an extension of what was on the agenda eight or ten years ago, if not even further back.

That's why context should be studied so an accurate map can be charted.
