Who can say "yes"?

---

In your domain, who can say "Yes" -- and make it stick?

Should this be a hard question to answer? It can be. Consider:

• Almost any ankle biter can say "no"
• "No" is least risky; least penalties
• "No" conveys an aura of toughness
• "No" is often the answer from the gatekeepers: the "staff" or the "back office" 

Who says "yes"?

• Secure, independent thinkers
• Those capable of  accepting risk
• Those naturally tough (tough enough)

Cultural impacts

• Larger, more mystical and more remote organizations: "Yes" comes harder
• Up close and personal: "Yes" more likely

What does that mean for the remote worker? Could be SOL in many situations because you just can't get access.

Hey, best of luck with that "yes thing". I hope it works for you.
