Construction is widely viewed as a fast-paced, action oriented industry. There are times, however, when inaction and reflection are more important than boldly moving forward. Are those instances common, or are they exceedingly rare among successful contractors?

Please tune in this week as Dennis discusses wisdom from Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, and JFK indicating that action is much preferable to inaction (inaction is a decision in and of itself, right?). What has been your experience? As you review past successes and failures, have they been more of the action or inaction variety? Please share with us in the comments.
