Kill the snake

Ros Perot is an American businessman who's greatest claim to fame was running (unsuccessfully) for President of the US of A. Perot was also the architect of a saying that I have recently come across which is "when you see a snake you kill it - you do not appoint a committee!" Essentially what this means is that sometimes we just need to be decisive. Not everything requires a "committee" as Perot puts it. As leaders, we must be able to decipher whether we are confronted by a snake and then act accordingly. Decisive leadership - something Perot would have needed in spades if he had reached the white house!!
