X might be your project, your team, your strategy, or something else.
What if the assumptions guiding your decisions were built on outdated data, misunderstood dynamics, or hidden biases?
The reality is, no matter how confident we feel in our knowledge, there’s always a chance that we’re seeing things through a distorted lens.
The question is: how are you validating what you know about x?
Are you collecting real, objective data or just going by what feels right?
Are you engaging your team in open, honest dialogue or sticking to assumptions about their strengths and limitations?
Are you revisiting your strategy with fresh perspectives or just repeating what’s worked before?
Consider implementing regular retrospectives, seeking external feedback, and challenging your own conclusions to ensure that what you “know” is actually true.
Something to think about—because the cost of being wrong may be greater than the effort it takes to validate your understanding.
