Not talking about abuse or anything involving manipulation. I refer to opportunities which present some difficulties and challenges.
We all get this ever so often where we are asked to do something which is beyond our capabilities. Sometimes it’s clear we want to go so the answer will easily be a yes. But what about those grey areas, which are outside your usual scope. Should you say no?
In established major businesses and structures, the default answer is no. The reason behind that is usually there is someone else already tasked with this duty and it’s been given to you. Yet there are times when nobody is responsible for something and you have the chance to champion it. The answer should be yes more often than not.
Times are changing very quickly and we need to continue learning to stay on top of our game. Saying yes keeps your experience on top. And you never know whether what you champion becomes a critical role or a trend later on.
