[Verse 1]
Dan made a perfect hire, the choice was right and true
But when the news came out, his team felt left without a clue
They wondered why they weren't asked, why no one sought their voice
The outcome may have been the best, but they questioned Danny's choice
[Chorus]
Pre-wire your decisions, bring them all along
Before you make it official, make sure nothing feels wrong
Talk to every stakeholder, let them have their say
You don't need their approval, just don't shock them on the day
Pre-wire, pre-wire, that's the manager's way
[Verse 2]
By the time you announce it, consensus should be there
No surprises in the room, no faces filled with stare
The formal meeting ratifies what everyone already knows
That's how the smartest leaders help their organization grow
[Chorus]
Pre-wire your decisions, bring them all along
Before you make it official, make sure nothing feels wrong
Talk to every stakeholder, let them have their say
You don't need their approval, just don't shock them on the day
Pre-wire, pre-wire, that's the manager's way
[Bridge]
Make a list of everyone who'll have opinions later
Reach out to each person, be a trust creator
Listen to their concerns, show them that you care
When decision time arrives, there'll be no despair
[Verse 3]
It's not about permission, it's not about control
It's about bringing people with you as you reach your goal
The skill they never taught you in business school or books
Is managing the feelings, not just the data and the looks
[Chorus]
Pre-wire your decisions, bring them all along
Before you make it official, make sure nothing feels wrong
Talk to every stakeholder, let them have their say
You don't need their approval, just don't shock them on the day
Pre-wire, pre-wire, that's the manager's way
[Outro]
Before you flip the switch, make sure the circuit's ready
Pre-wire every choice to keep your leadership steady
