Chapter 3/9- Post 3

One concept from the post that I found interesting was the discussion of unintended consequences in Chapter 9. The text states that unintended consequences are the results that occur because of the decision but were not expected or planned (Harris & Sherblom, 2011, p. 149). To me this is an important concept to remember as most times we do not anticipate problems going wrong, especially toward the end of a project. However, the chapter emphasizes the fact that even small decisions can have large, unintended consequences. It is important that we keep an optimistic attitude while still preparing for the worst as if something does happen to go wrong, we want to be sure we are prepared for any error that may occur. I personally have had things go wrong toward the end of a project which makes things more stressful; however, most times I have been fortunate enough to find a solution before the deadline.
