Based on rational criteria or feelings that are hard to define, they make their decisions afterward. For them, it does not matter whether they decide<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>with or without safe foresight,<\/li>\n<li>with or without difficulties,<\/li>\n<li>with or without playing out consequences,<\/li>\n<li>with or without consideration of pros and cons, and<\/li>\n<li>decide with or without pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They are always too late. As a result, missed activities and lacking procedures lead to random outcomes and unintended consequences. Their shortcoming is poor timing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They always have the best solution<br \/>\n<\/strong>Their undisputed skill is a good understanding of solutions and the difference between good and harmful effects. The problem becomes<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>clearly derived from the context,<\/li>\n<li>the responsibilities recognized,<\/li>\n<li>the procedure described,<\/li>\n<li>observed from different perspectives,<\/li>\n<li>described with a simple sentence and<\/li>\n<li>examined concerning negative aspects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They then derive objectives (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memecon.com\/problem-goal-specification.html\">link<\/a>) and measures. With their skills, they can create the best solution. However, poor timing prevents them from delivering at the right moment. They are simply too late.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The later, the better<br \/>\n<\/strong>The best moment for a decision is when the further procedure has to be determined or selected and released from several alternatives. The difficulty is that<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>not all influences are known in advance,<\/li>\n<li>some thoughtless decisions go in the wrong direction,<\/li>\n<li>certain information is intentional or unintentional and inaccurate or false,<\/li>\n<li>complications need further resolutions in the implementation,<\/li>\n<li>the people involved do not want to or cannot understand the initiative,<\/li>\n<li>often the option for immediate termination is not considered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A belated decision has the advantage of seeing the effects. This allows retrospective decision-makers to avoid the stumbling blocks that have arisen. They simply miss the crucial moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They do not actively contribute anything<br \/>\n<\/strong>Their contributions are senseless and remain unused because the implementation has already taken place. However, this does not prevent them from making their late &#8222;comments&#8220;. They burden the participants with demotivating propositions on past activities and, as late bloomers, also fail to deliver solutions for the current task. They create ineffective wouldhaverades, e.g.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I would have adequately prepared.<\/li>\n<li>If you would have taken the time.<\/li>\n<li>You would have avoided the risk if &#8230;,<\/li>\n<li>I would not have done it that way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, these anachronistic all-time-doubters hinder the renewed decision-making process with these inane contributions, just when the team is moving on to the next problem.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: The wouldhavers are actually valuable employees. They have a good understanding of the building blocks, coherences, and solutions. Unfortunately, they fail to activate their skills at the right time. A way out provides workshop layouts that perform retrospective planning from the goal&#8217;s perspective to be achieved. For this purpose, you guide the participants mentally into the future and look at the project retrospectively, out of the assumed future. It could help the unintended wouldhavers to bring in their knowledge and draw the necessary conclusions. However, this does not reach the politicians, as they avoid decisions on principle to wash their hands in innocents in case of failure. Those who are late have done nothing (wrong) and cannot necessarily be punished for a bad result.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-left shariff-widget-align-left\"><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-round orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button xing shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#29888a\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xing.com\/spi\/shares\/new?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.memecon.info%2F%3Fp%3D3034\" title=\"Bei XING teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei XING teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\"; background-color:#126567; color:#fff\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"shariff-icon\" style=\"\"><svg width=\"32px\" height=\"20px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\"><path fill=\"#126567\" d=\"M10.7 11.9q-0.2 0.3-4.6 8.2-0.5 0.8-1.2 0.8h-4.3q-0.4 0-0.5-0.3t0-0.6l4.5-8q0 0 0 0l-2.9-5q-0.2-0.4 0-0.7 0.2-0.3 0.5-0.3h4.3q0.7 0 1.2 0.8zM25.1 0.4q0.2 0.3 0 0.7l-9.4 16.7 6 11q0.2 0.4 0 0.6-0.2 0.3-0.6 0.3h-4.3q-0.7 0-1.2-0.8l-6-11.1q0.3-0.6 9.5-16.8 0.4-0.8 1.2-0.8h4.3q0.4 0 0.5 0.3z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"shariff-button linkedin shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#1488bf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.memecon.info%2F%3Fp%3D3034\" title=\"Bei LinkedIn teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei LinkedIn teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\"; background-color:#0077b5; color:#fff\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"shariff-icon\" style=\"\"><svg width=\"32px\" height=\"20px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 27 32\"><path fill=\"#0077b5\" d=\"M6.2 11.2v17.7h-5.9v-17.7h5.9zM6.6 5.7q0 1.3-0.9 2.2t-2.4 0.9h0q-1.5 0-2.4-0.9t-0.9-2.2 0.9-2.2 2.4-0.9 2.4 0.9 0.9 2.2zM27.4 18.7v10.1h-5.9v-9.5q0-1.9-0.7-2.9t-2.3-1.1q-1.1 0-1.9 0.6t-1.2 1.5q-0.2 0.5-0.2 1.4v9.9h-5.9q0-7.1 0-11.6t0-5.3l0-0.9h5.9v2.6h0q0.4-0.6 0.7-1t1-0.9 1.6-0.8 2-0.3q3 0 4.9 2t1.9 6z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"shariff-button facebook shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#4273c8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.memecon.info%2F%3Fp%3D3034\" title=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei Facebook teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\"; background-color:#3b5998; color:#fff\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"shariff-icon\" style=\"\"><svg width=\"32px\" height=\"20px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 32\"><path fill=\"#3b5998\" d=\"M17.1 0.2v4.7h-2.8q-1.5 0-2.1 0.6t-0.5 1.9v3.4h5.2l-0.7 5.3h-4.5v13.6h-5.5v-13.6h-4.5v-5.3h4.5v-3.9q0-3.3 1.9-5.2t5-1.8q2.6 0 4.1 0.2z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"shariff-button flipboard shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#373737\"><a href=\"https:\/\/share.flipboard.com\/bookmarklet\/popout?v=2&title=Life%20also%20does%20not%20necessarily%20punish%20those%2C%20who%20come%20too%20late&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.memecon.info%2F%3Fp%3D3034\" title=\"Bei Flipboard teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei Flipboard teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\"; background-color:#f52828; color:#fff\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"shariff-icon\" style=\"\"><svg width=\"24px\" height=\"24px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#f52828\" d=\"M0 0h8v24H0V0zm9 9h7v7H9V9zm0-9h15v8H9V0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"shariff-button twitter shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#595959\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.memecon.info%2F%3Fp%3D3034&text=Life%20also%20does%20not%20necessarily%20punish%20those%2C%20who%20come%20too%20late\" title=\"Bei X teilen\" aria-label=\"Bei X teilen\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\"; background-color:#000; color:#fff\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"shariff-icon\" style=\"\"><svg width=\"32px\" height=\"20px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"#000\" d=\"M14.258 10.152L23.176 0h-2.113l-7.747 8.813L7.133 0H0l9.352 13.328L0 23.973h2.113l8.176-9.309 6.531 9.309h7.133zm-2.895 3.293l-.949-1.328L2.875 1.56h3.246l6.086 8.523.945 1.328 7.91 11.078h-3.246zm0 0\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The words &#8222;I would have &#8230;&#8220; turn responsible managers into wouldhavers.
