The downside of this is that it stifles candor, creativity and innovation and often leads to a my way or the highway environment. While there is little debate that speed can create an extreme competitive advantage, it is not well understood that the lack of speed can send a company (or a career) into a death spiral.

I couldn’t disagree more…In today’s post I’ll share my thoughts on what I refer to as the fallacy of no.
