Structure Your Decision-Making Exercise
- Select a facilitator to guide discussion, pause the exercise, and challenge assumptions during group breaks.
- Ensure quieter members speak and use different briefers after each breakout to surface diverse perspectives.
Apply The Rule Of Three
- Use the Rule of Three to avoid becoming overwhelmed by events: focus on three things you need to know, three things to do, and three people to trust.
- Delegation reduces command overload but remember you can't delegate ultimate responsibility.
Prioritize Scouting And Intelligence
- Gather scouting intelligence: who occupies the property, presence of children, animals, defensive measures, and likely armament.
- Use flyovers, cell pings, and local knowledge well before deciding on approach or timing.
