Put Past Decisions On Trial
Another form of focused questioning is what I call "Zero based
thinking." This method requires that you
put every past
decision on trial for its life regularly by asking, "If I had
not made this decision, knowing what I now know, would I make it?"
If I had not hired this person or gotten involved in this project,
knowing what I now know, would I do it over again?
If the answer is "NO" to one of these questions, then your aim should be
to get out of the
decision
→
as fast as possible. Be willing to "cut your losses," and try
something else.
