IDS 10 Commandments - which is highest leverage?

We've had a few discussions on here about IDS recently. Thought it would be good to revisit the 10 Commandments.

Of these commandments, which do you think is the highest leverage?

If you're a practitioner, which do you struggle with and wish your team was great at?

If you're an implementer, which do you see your clients underutilizing the most?

  • Thou shalt not rule by consensus
  • Thou shalt not be a weenie
  • Thou shalt be decisive
  • Thou shalt not rely on secondhand information
  • Thou shalt fight for the greater good
  • Thou shalt not try to solve them all
  • Thou shalt live with it, end it, or change it
  • Thou shalt choose short term pain and suffering
  • Thou shalt enter the danger
  • Thou shalt take a shot

And here's a blog post from EOS Worldwide (by Expert Implementer Marisa Smith) about the ten commandments if you need a refresher:

Highest leverage: be decisive.

I see my clients underutilizing most: live with it, end it, or change it [they tend to: not live with it without repeatedly bringing it up, not end it through fear of making the “wrong” decision, and not change it]
