U turns

We have heard a lot about U turns recently in the political sense although this thread is not political.

U turns are seen as a bad thing however is it not a good thing if the situation has changed or you have realised something is a bad idea or not working to do a U turn and start again?

I think it is good to be able to admit a wrong choice and make a U turn. X

I think they can be a sign of strength and can be a sign of weakness, depending on the circumstance.

It can take a lot of guts to hold up your hand and say “You know what. I was wrong and I’m going to correct my mistake”. You don’t really see that a lot to be fair. I did it once or twice in my career (but hey, I’ve mostly been right first time!! )

Allies will say recent political examples are a sign of strength, enemies will say it’s a weakness.

Done it with a job, first one, thought I was selling myself short and not my passion, accepted and then turned them down a few days later. No regrets.

When the facts change, I change my mind.

U turns themselves arent bad. The issue is often what took you down the route to start with. And the hubris you have when turning.

U turns generally mean you didn’t give something enough consideration in the first place. Personally I consider it a failure to do due diligence before acting

It's a sign of sense when you see that something requires remedy and then make that change. It can stop a lot of self inflicted harm. It's a pity there are more governmental U turns.

although I’d a ‘not’ in there, as in a failure NOT to do due diligence.

Agree 100%. It's a weakness not to admit mistakes or misjudgements.

Some decisions need to be made quickly and without full information. Deadlines make it so, at least in my career they did. Most of the time your experience and expertise will ensure the decision is right. Sometimes, rarely, not.

I definitely think this can be the case often However there are circumstances when something has been thought through and seems like a good idea at the time but then a situation changes.

I wouldn't say that's true in every case though.

Some might act hastily but often you only gain insights from doing and then re-evaluating.

It's important to try things and venture outside of the known. Or we'd never advance.

Not everything can be predicted or planned for

Of course it is if you go back on something that is literally the definition of u turn.

I'd say most things can't be predicted, especially where it applies to other people's behaviour. 'Due diligence' is a business term that I think has limited use in most human interactions.

If a situation changes then it isn’t a u turn. A u turn is when things stay the same but you realise you messed up

I don't see it that way.

If you go back on something and change your mind for whatever reasons surely that's A U turn something hasn't worked out and you're going to start again or go back on what you originally say.

Liz Truss did a u turn bugger all changed other than she realised she’d made a monumental cock up. She didn’t do due diligence.

If something doesn’t work out because the goalposts moved that’s not a u turn. Some variables are unpredictable and you have to react accordingly

Hell yes or if you’re a politician it could turn into a 360

It’s not necessarily a failure though if you physically can’t, you make the best decision on the available you have.

Sometimes if you wait until all due diligence is able to be done, the elapsed time means you’re too slow, the opportunity is gone.

Sometimes you have to take an educated and mitigated risk. Like I said before someone experienced in their role may need to take a balance of probabilities approach to decision making, by their very nature there’s a probability the desired result may not materialise, but that should be in a minority of cases only!

Gawd it’s way too late to be doing this on a fuck site to be fair

Come on Dan the emoji let you it was in jest lol.

On a serious note i do agree with you 100% tho. Sometimes a decision has to be made quickly within certain circumstances. As humans we don't always get them right. I'm in no way a fan of Truss but she's been thrown into a shit situation at a horrendous time. I think her u-turn has showed character and willingness to admit mistakes. A quality we are missing within parliament Especially here in Scotland
