"You don't know what you can get away with until you try." - Colin Powell
You know the expression "it's easier to get forgiveness than premission"? Well, it's true. Good leaders don't wait for official blessing to try things out. They're prudent, not reckless. Less effective middle managers endorsed the esentiment, "If I haven't explicitly been told 'yes,' I can't do it," where as the good ones believed, If I haven't explicitly been told 'no,' I can." There's a world of diferences between the two points of view.
