Episode notes
Frame Challenges As Future Questions
- Challenge ideas non-confrontationally by offering alternative views and future-focused questions.
- Ask "How would you prevent this in the future?" to prompt self-audit without defensiveness.
Track Your Bias Cues In Writing
- List personal linguistic cues that signal you're reasoning in a biased way and share them with partners.
- Use those cue-lists to have others help you spot blind spots and expand the list collaboratively.
Keep Leader Opinions Private Initially
- As a leader, avoid stating your beliefs while soliciting input to prevent contagion.
- Solicit independent advice and quarantine opinions to reduce premature convergence.
