Start your meetings by asking: • When we have had a successful meeting,
what decisions will we have made? • How will we have most effectively made
those decisions? • How will we have gotten all the input we
needed? • Whose input will have been most critical/
important? • How will we have exposed any assumptions
underlying what we decided? www.TheHumanFactor.biz www.MoreThanaMinute.com

Stop jumping to solutions
Take the time to consider alternatives
Challenge your assumptions by asking, “What underlying attitudes, beliefs or thought bubbles are causing us to see this as the best or only solution?”

Solicit alternative viewpoints. “It sounds like we’re all in agreement on the solution here. I’m wondering if anyone sees it differently.”

Ask “What if…?” questions. “What if our ‘right’ answer is wrong? …we looked at it from the customer’s perspective; how would they address this?
