Day 36
"The best lies are full of truth,"commented Mark Driscoll during his guest talk at Saddleback Church on June 9th.

• Get upset at a coworker or client due to misunderstanding part of the facts.
• Make the wrong technical decision because of missing one piece of data.
• Hire an employee who will not work out because you overlook a problem.

The list goes on, but it may help you build more positive, stronger accountability in your organization if you increase your expectation that "the best lies" occur because we:

1. Make assumptions.
2. Hear what we want to hear so we tune out negativity.
3. Move too fast, instead of a Goldilocks Schedule (not too fast, not too slow...)

RECOMMENDATION :  Work harder at pausing to reflect (Sanctuary) rather than rush to judge or make critical decisions.  This does not mean you should postpone decisions unnecessarily.  The key is to understand the facts and what you do not know.
