If something feels off, "flagging it" is hardly enough. Flags without suggestions simply create a mark; they don't heal.
If something goes wrong, "I flagged it" gets us nowhere; it turns our heads backward when we should be looking forward.
To most, "I flagged it" sounds like "I told someone there was an issue, but they did nothing. It's not my fault." We waste time and energy pointing fingers.
Sure, maybe someone is accountable, but if we’re a team and we made decisions together, chances are we all played our part in the outcome.
Flag it, and find a way.
