Flip-flopping is bad in politics and in business, right?  Not so, according to Jack and Suzy Welch in their March 9 BusinessWeek column.  Here is what they say:  "What nonsense.  It is the essence of leadership to have the self-confidence to admit that a strategy has gone off course or a position has become outdated...Change happens."  We whole-heartedly support this position when it comes to business.  When is the last time that a project moved perfectly from A to Z?  More likely you ran into obstacles, experienced changes or met unexpected outcomes.  To some, that might mean failure or poor planning.  But if you waited for each and every question to be answered before moving forward, you never would.  What leads to success (or not) is how you recalibrate at each roadblock.  As the business gurus write, "...it is the responsibility of all leaders in such a 'predicament' to revise their direction swiftly, widely communicate it, and move on without undue pandering or emotionality."  What do you think about flip-flopping?
