Episode notes
Baseline Knowledge SOP
- Establish a standard operating procedure for baseline knowledge.
- This ensures unified teamwork, especially with high turnover.
Interpretation Bias
- The same message can be interpreted differently depending on the reader's mindset.
- Choose to build a "palace" of positive interpretation instead of a "lean-to" of negativity.
Decentralized Command
- Leaders should focus on the "what" and "why" of tasks, not the "how".
- Empower subordinates to decide the execution, fostering decentralized command.
