In larger organizations where an eco-system of teams and departments must communicate effectively and deliver across an engagement or project is a strategy that would not be so effective nor welcomed. Permission is not always relative to getting consent. It is an effective manner of notifying others and/or initiating a link within the entire process to achieve a desired end result.
Asking for Permission or Forgiveness
I recently had the opportunity to have a chat with a Senior Executive from a large software company when he asked me this question, "Are you one to ask for permission or forgiveness. Instinctively I responded, "It is easier to ask for forgiveness". After leaving that meeting on my drive home from Toronto I realized that the response I provided was a conditioned one. As I reflected on the question I started reconstructing why I responded the way I did.
