My shotgun-mind saw a pattern from a couple of different sources which I’ll relate to “big review” cycles with exec stakeholders or negotiation or selling your project or whatever.

The first is this excellent article on “Iterationitis” on HBR. Provocative title aside, the point here is that as a leader it’s important to find the space for “low resolution” reviews – raw ideas that haven’t been refined to the point of formal review and probably without the trappings that go with those formal reviews: fixed agendas, slides, fully-sourced data.

Simple article, great points.
