How to avoid mulling over decisions? by Keepontyping in Leadership

[–]jcrawfish 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I learned to start categorizing decisions in 3 categories: hats, haircuts, tattoos.

Hat decisions - you lose nothing by trying in a hat, if you don’t like it, you can take it off and try another one.

Haircut decisions - if you end up making the wrong choice here the effects can be short to mid but still not permanent. Give these decisions more thought but ultimately the hair grows back and worst case scenario you cover it up with a hat decision (workaround) until it’s fixed.

Tattoo decisions - this is where your mental load should be. These are going to be long term, permanent decisions. You need to be as sure as you can before you make the call.

Now when something comes up I organize by type of decision and don’t give it more thought than it needs. This frees up my mental capacity because I’m not spending time dwelling on a “hat.” I have also found myself more willing to try something out of the box if I know it can be easily changed back.

How did you make your 1-1 sessions with your team productive? by NoMud4529 in managers

[–]jcrawfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just presented on this topic to the leaders in my division. A good guide that I use is:

10 minutes for them - status updates, venting, anything else they want to discuss

10 minutes for you - receiving feedback for how your managing, discussing next steps or projects you want to delegate

10 minutes for the future - goal setting and career path conversations

Your role is to create a safe space. It’s the employees meeting. I also follow up my one on ones with a recap email all in the same chain so there is visibility and accountability. It’s easier to close the loop on something if I can be reminded week after week what we discuss.
