Perfectly salted

I love to eat and I consider myself as definitely someone who can taste the difference quality makes. I'm loyal to some brands and restaurants and things they serve to me. But as I remember correctly, I always comment on the quality of meats I eat, freshness of produce I taste, uniqueness of flavors in cuisines, and on the flip side, complain about it being too salty or not salty enough. But I can't remember the last time I commented on something being perfectly salted.

Assertiveness is just like that. Leaders in organizations must be assertive, but if they are too assertive, they lose followers and damage relationships with others. But this leads to the conundrum, if they are just assertive enough, will they be remembered for it?

Perfectly salted or not, pick a stance and stick to it. Choices like these come to us everyday, but its the follow through that counts.
