A Plan

Let's examine the assumptions, resources, strategies, goals, and risks. Let's do that quickly but - barring an emergency - with enough time for review and second-guessing.

Let's pick at least one very smart person to poke holes in our plan and note counter-strategies. 

Let's identify any areas that cause unease.

Let's have more than three options.

Let's have a clear view of the problems that may result from our proposed solutions.

Once the decision is made, let every action advance the cause. Avoid all that do not. Make all necessary adjustments. 

With all of that in mind, vigorously execute the plan.

Go with insight and courage.
