On one level, it’s easy to forgive those who fall victim to unintended consequences when their actions were clearly meant to promote the greater good.
On another level, leaders – whether operating in the public or private sector – are expected to demonstrate some degree of foresight when making important decisions so that the consequences of those decisions don’t end up being so detrimental as to negate entirely any perceived benefits.
A good example of this in the corporate world is Wal-Mart, where a presumably well-meaning attempt to raise the wages of the retailer’s lowest paid employees turned into a veritable disaster that led directly to a series of attempts to squeeze more “value” out of the supply chain and culminated in this week’s utter corporate carnage (see here).
In the world of geopolitics, the quintessential example may well be the Iran nuclear deal.
Just as “higher wages for everyone” sounds good on paper, “deterring nuclear proliferation” sounds great from a “save humanity” perspective.
