I attended a conference about twenty or so years ago. The keynote speaker was the Canadian CEO of Compaq Computers. he talked about this very subject. His words stayed with me throughout my career and became my mantra - “A good decision today is better than a great one, a year from now”.
"Adapt and Adjust: Be prepared to adapt and adjust your approach as new information and circumstances arise. Flexibility is key to making your decision work."
....... The external perception from those who weren't fully on board with your decision is that you got it wrong the first time. They do the whole 'told you so' thing when they see you adapting and adjusting - usually behind your back, of course. I like Maya Angelou's words, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Unfortunately, there are lots of people with fixed mindsets and play the finite game and can't grasp the benefits of adapting and adjusting

Love this concept! Moving forward vs looking back will always bring better results.
No truer words have ever been spoken. True on life’s decisions as in business.
