A vital attributes of an In-Syncness person is the ability to recognize a pending negative event/relationship
and “nip it in the bud”.
The Reason: It is
easier to rectify (manage) a situation in its infancy (embryonic stage)
than when it is majorly manifesting (in full bloom).
Over the
years, I have seen countless instances when individuals have let things
slide until the situation or relationship morphed into a major mess with
negative repercussions for both parties, and often for countless others
who were directly or indirectly associated with the issue.
There
are numerous current events that verify the merits of nipping it in the
bud, versus delaying and confronting the issue when it is in a far more
difficult stage to resolve. The following are just a few; see how this
applies to your world during the last 90 days:
Event: ISIS leaving Syria for Iraq.
Immediate Response: Nothing, simply monitor the migration.
Possible Immediate Response:
When a large convoy of terrorist made their way across the barren land
from their outpost in Syria to their arrival in Samarra, they were
sitting ducks out in the middle of nowhere. The entire brigade could
have easily been deterred/destroyed, and pinned in Syria.
Way Late Response:
Confronting an enemy with tens of thousands of fighters who pose a
major threat to all the people in the region and the world at large.
Event: China building up the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.
Immediate Response: nothing, simply monitor the buildup
Possible Immediate Response:
At the moment it became apparent that China was adding size to the land
mass of the islands for military bases, park a war ship in the area and
announce there will be no more building on the islands.
Way Late Response:
Navigating a war ship within 12 miles of the islands to prove that the
waters are international waters and freely navigable for all. Now that
China has a major investment in the ground, and their prowess is at
stake, it is likely they will fight harder to retain than they would
have when it was just an idea.
Conversely there are current events where it is obvious the issue was nipped in the bud.
Event: Russian lands fighter planes in Syria.
Immediate Response:
Practically the day after Russia landed fighter planes in Syria, Prime
Minster Benjamin Netanyahu was in Russia conferring with Vladimir Putin
regarding the ground rules in Syria. He nipped it in the bud.
Event: Lindsey Graham gives out Donald Trump’s cell phone number
Immediate Response:
Trump nipped it in the bud by immediately recording a new answering
message encouraging all callers to vote for him as President.
Long
posts are not my norm, as I don’t like to read lengthy articles.
Hopefully, the read went quickly for you and you can invoke a "nip it in
the bud" mentality in your company / organization and all facets of your life.
Everything I
write is always designed to inform as well as direct the reader to
purchase and read one of the In-Syncness books. Rather you are a "nip it
in the bud" type person or someone who hesitates to immediately
confront the issues, both are a derivative of your chutzpah and style.
Brash people can always hone their skills and reticent people can always develop more courage. Check out In-Syncness books and find the one that is best for you at www.insyncness.com/books There is also a link to Amazon and B&N
