- This is classic advice when operating in a large organization. You see a problem to be solved, have a bold solution in mind, and have everything necessary to take action, but there will be very real costs felt broadly. You think the tradeoff is worth it, but will your higher-ups agree? Or will they simply blame you for the costs without appreciating the larger problem solved?

  You likely have the best information on the decision but might assume you need permission to incur the costs. If your higher-ups assume the same then analysis paralysis sets in. If it’s a good idea, <em>go ahead and do it</em>. Grace Hopper encouraged a bias to action; to do the right thing for the org whether or not they know it to be. If you’re wrong or get flak for the costs: ask forgiveness; you acted in good faith.

  While “forgiveness, not permission” considers what you’re asking, it says nothing about what you’re telling. If you anticipate needing to ask forgiveness after taking action then its best to get ahead of it by explaining the decision clearly immediately after you’ve made it. Even better, explain <em>before</em> you act then radiate it. Share far and wide.
