Maybe it's my many years playing [ice] hockey or the fact that I'm a hoser from the great white North like Bob & Doug (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_and_Doug_McKenzie), but I think you're totally on target with respect to being prepared. The speed of today's workplace demands that people have much less time to react before they respond to any kind of event. From servicing our clients and stakeholders to to engaging our teams and colleagues, I would argue that all the great tools (technology, social networking, etc) we now have at our disposal in fact enforce the *expectation* of rapid response and engagement. Looking forward to lesson #2 :) Great post John!
