Do you feel like you’re leading at warp speed? If so, you’re not alone. It’s likely that in the fast changing business environment you’re dealing with many high-stakes decisions all at once. What’s the key to balancing the often competing needs of employees, customers, partners, and other stakeholders when the pressure is on? As counter-intuitive as it seems, it’s to uncover assumptions even more often.
In this Fan Favorite Quick Take episode, we discuss the key to making high-stakes decisions at warp speed. Under time pressure, it’s tempting to assume everyone knows what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what needs to happen next. However, as your company and stakeholders are changing faster than ever, these assumptions may no longer apply. This can lead to unintended outcomes.
For example, we discuss the story of what one CEO and C-suite team discovered about the impact of their assumptions as they led their company for dramatic transformation and growth.
A quick way to begin uncovering assumptions is to use our complimentary checklist, “Five Questions To Ask When You Need To Move Even Faster.” We also discuss three particular times these questions can be especially impactful.
