Quick Question: What happens if we wait?
Here is today's quick question for you...What happens if we wait?
Balancing prudent decision making and a bias for action can be tough, especially when under pressure. Understanding the impact of time can help navigate this challenge.
Ask it when you're...
Feeling the need for more data - Seeking more data can create the impression of safety or prudence, but what if the delay has other implications?
Sensing hesitation or conservatism from your colleagues - Getting others to acknowledge the impact of waiting can create greater understanding of the benefits and risks that waiting may produce.
In a team that rushes to decisions - This question may increase understanding of the benefits of a more considered approach. It may also create space for new information or dynamics to present themselves.
