Jumping - to conclusions
A group of junior-level executives were participating in a management training program. The seminar leader pounded home his point about the need to make decisions and take action on those decisions.
"For instance," he said, "if you had five frogs on a log and three of them decided to jump, how many frogs would you have left on the log?"
The answer from the group was unanimous, "Two."
"Wrong," replied the speaker. "There would still be five, because there is a difference between deciding to jump and jumping."
