Use a Sledge Hammer It rarely pays to be subtle Better to have too much than not enough Push resources into the area of impact, don’t wait for requests A quick and overwhelming response is better than a well planned and thought out response If you wait until you have all facts, it becomes harder to change the outcome

Semper Gumby “always flexible” "Semper Gumby."
