Seek disconfirming evidence – Actively look for information that challenges your current view or plan.
Practice structured reasoning – Use simple frameworks: What’s the goal? What’s the evidence? What are the alternatives? What are the risks?
Ask better questions – Replace “Do you agree?” with “What might we be missing?” or “What would have to be true for this to fail?”
Slow down important decisions – Force a 24-hour pause or assign a “red team” to attack the proposal.
Reflect after key outcomes – Conduct quick post-mortems: What did we get wrong? Why? What signal did we ignore?
Read opposing viewpoints – Make it routine to consume sources that disagree with your team’s default position.
Consistency beats intensity. Do one or two of these deliberately every week.
