incrementalism

The slippery slope that often causes generally principled people to slide into unethical behavior.

Although we have all come to understand that the Fraudster in Chief has no internal ethics compass to begin with, it seems more likely that many of the lifelong public servants who wound up in his thugsphere fell victim to what philosopher Jonathan Glover describes as the following process: “Incrementalism is how we slide into participation by imperceptible degrees so there is never the sense of a frontier being crossed.”

INCREMENTALITY

The belief or mindset that anything can be accomplished if you tackle it one small step at a time. The frame of mind that is the opposite of "all or nothing" thinking. Phrases a person with a positive incrementality might use include "baby steps", "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time", and "start small and build." "Slow and steady wins the race" is the motto of the person who possesses incrementality. This is the tortoise, not the hare.

Start small; develop incrementality!
