You checked the facts.
You checked the timeline.
You even checked your own reasoning.
Here’s what you didn’t check: whether you were looking from more than one place.
Most people, when they slow down to be careful, do it by re-examining the same angle more closely.
Not by finding a different one.
That’s the miss.
A decision can feel thorough and still be narrow.
Thorough and wide are not the same thing.
The leaders who avoid this trap ask themselves a strange question before they decide:
Whose position haven’t I stood in yet?
Not to second-guess everything.
Just to check the view from somewhere else before they call it settled.
