The Rules of Change

I heard of the following rules from Dorothy Bowman who was my HR director years ago. Dorothy had experience in the federal bureaucratic wars (Navy if I recall correctly), but the rules work almost anywhere:

  1. If it doesn’t say you can’t, you can.
  2. It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission.
  3. Proceed until apprehended!

The rules work beautifully, but there may be hell to pay if (when??) you get caught. So, good luck!

Let’s be careful out there!
