There are few baseline fundamentals when it comes to making the world a better place. Here's a couple:
- It works better when we work together.
- You never know what is coming.
Planning and preparation are key to both of these.
Prepare together. Align your thinking. Uncover your strengths and weaknesses. Learn to communicate. Resolve conflict. Agree on principles.
And then when an unexpected decision-making moment arrives: Check in on each other, check alignment, check strength, and act decisively.
Crucial moments rarely allow time to think everything through. So have 80% of the conversation before the moment arrives. And develop the skills to nail the last 20%.
Cover off the basics of the decision using pre-established principles, and discuss the details that arrive in the decisive moment.
