We’re all familiar with the concept of feedback and debriefing. We give feedback to subordinates regarding their decisions; others give feedback to us. But how often do you evaluate your own decisions?
Daniel Pink (author of “Drive” and “To Sell is Human”) offers a simple technique that requires a “note to self” about your expectations around something you have a stake in and setting a reminder to review the outcome later. A three-minute video by Mr. Pink will show you how it works. A good exercise for you and your team on debriefing yourself.
BTW, if you want to take debriefing yourself to the next level, Vistage Speaker and former Air Force Fighter Weapons School pilot Rob “Cujo” Teschner’s “Debrief to Win” talks and books are first rate.
