Key takeaways — Decisive
- ✓ Palawakin ang iyong mga alternatibong opsyon: kung may desisyon kang 'oo' o 'hindi', maaaring may nakaligtaan kang ibang posibilidad.
- ✓ Gamitin ang teknik na Pre-mortem (analisis bago ang pagkabigo): isipin na nabigo ang proyekto sa loob ng isang taon, at tukuyin ang mga posibleng sanhi — makatutulong ito upang matuklasan ang mga nakatagong panganib.
- ✓ Magkaroon ng distansya mula sa mga emosyon sa maikling panahon gamit ang panuntunan na '10-10-10': Ano ang magiging pakiramdam mo tungkol sa desisyon sa loob ng 10 minuto, 10 buwan, at 10 taon?
Key takeaways — The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
- ✓ Magpatibay ng Vulnerability-Based Trust sa pamamagitan ng pagiging bukas sa iyong mga kahinaan, na siyang pundasyon para sa lahat ng susunod na antas ng pagganap at pagtutulungan ng koponan.
- ✓ Hikayatin ang Produktibong Pagkakaiba-iba sa mga ideya, na may pagkakaunawa na ang kawalan ng debate ay palatandaan ng 'Artificial Harmony' na nagtatago ng malalim na problema sa organisasyon at mahihirap na desisyon.
- ✓ Siguraduhin ang Pantay na Pananagutan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahintulot sa mga kasapi ng koponan na tawagin ang isa't isa sa kanilang pagganap at asal, na nakakabawas sa pangangailangan ng palagiang interbensyon ng tagapamahala.
