Getting In Is Easy. Getting Out Isn’t.

Notes to Young Leaders | 17 February 2025

A note to young leaders.

Think hard before you make any meaningful commitment.

Why?

Because in all things – it’s easier to get in, than it is to get out.

Easier to dive in than to climb out.

Which is easier?

  • To get into an investment or to get out of it?
  • To get into a relationship or to get out of it?
  • To get into debt or to get out of it?
  • To invite someone on a board or to kick them off?

As the Bard of Avon correctly counselled: “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.”
