The author emphasizes having a bias for action and making progress by moving forward, even with small steps. A unique approach suggested is to ask for a no, not a yes, when seeking permission from the boss for something within the scope of your role. By offering a chance to say no with a deadline, you are showing initiative and confidence in your decision-making. This approach can help you keep moving forward, solve problems, and keep the boss informed without requiring constant approval. The author highlights the importance of setting a deadline to prompt quicker responses and efficient decision-making.
