Trust your gut...

In his book, Blink, Malcom Gladwell (author of The Tipping Point) posits that the impressions you form about people, situations, etc. within the first few seconds are generally right on.

In trusting Juan to build the structure out back....
In deciding not to send a certain email at work...
In overcoming a situation with a colleague...

I actually listened to my gut. I FELT it and I knew, just knew, it was right.

Pretty cool, stuff. There was an article a few years back that I read in Harvard Business Review that attributed some degree of success to executives' ability to listen and respond to their guts.

I kind of wonder...what exactly is that feeling you get?
