What ever happened to, "innocent until proven guilty"? Why has it morphed into just the opposite?
When Paula Deen was recently reported to have used the N-word - she was immediately chastised by losing sponsors before all the facts and issues came out. When Trayvon Martin was shot, people immediately took to the streets in protest - without knowing ANY of the facts.
These two cases are currently being scrutinized in the media and legal system, meaning, we don't yet know the full extent of guilt to any of the parties involved.
Don't we find this in our everyday business life also? How many have had leaders that jump to the conclusion and react instead of act? It's the "easy" way out. Sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away. Problem is, that often makes it an even bigger issue to deal with and it ends up taking on a life of it's own, sucking up time and resources on it's way.
Leaders. Stop. Look at all the facts. Act instead of react, and put yourself on the right track to making the right decision.
