Full Transcript

When two smart people look at the same decision and land in a totally different place, it's almost never about the facts. They're looking through different lenses. And it's not just values, like bold versus careful. Sometimes it's experience. The person who lived through a launch that blew up, they see risk where you see opportunity because they've got a scar that you don't. Sometimes it's expertise. The engineer and the marketer, they're not trying to be difficult. They're just weighing the same facts differently because they know different things. You cannot decision tree your way out of a lens. What you can do is name them out loud. And then ask one question that breaks the tie. What should this decision optimize for given where we are in this situation? The criteria decides, not the loudest voice. This is just one of three kinds of conflict that every team runs into. The full breakdown is in this week's episode of The Modern Manager. So, search The Modern Manager wherever you listen to podcasts.
