Cutting Corners - think about it ...

 I was literally cutting corners this weekend when doing some remodeling work, and that made me think ...

Cutting corners:

• is always a deliberate choice
• makes things look better to observers
• is what you don't want others to see
• doesn't require expertise
• provides a default solution when you see no alternative
• might be the most reasonable choice
• requires more work than not doing it
• is expensive to undo

So - try having a conversation: where are you cutting corners, why are you doing it - and do you know how much it costs? Which alternatives do you have? What might another person do different?
