Mission Briefing Intro
1. The context
2. Higher intent
3. My intent
4. Key implied tasks
5. Defining the boundaries
Use the phrase “disagree and commit.”
This phrase will save a lot of time. If you
have conviction on a particular direction
even though there’s no consensus, it’s
helpful to say, “Look, I know we disagree
on this but will you gamble with me on it?
Disagree and commit?”
By the time you’re at this point, no one
can know the answer for sure, and you’ll
probably get a quick yes.
