Exercising options in parallel also lowers your exposure to the downside. Even for decisions that have only a 10% chance of going awry, that means that 10% of the time you’ll get a bad outcome. But if you can do a bunch of things at the same time that each have a 10% chance of going awry, the chances that all of them don’t work out becomes vanishingly small. That naturally lowers the penalty for going fast.
But for the more vulnerable ones among us, there is no option but to experience criticism as an assault on our very right to exist. We don’t hear that we are being mildly upbraided for an aspect of our work; we at once feel that we are being told to disappear. It isn’t just one or two people who are mocking us, the whole world is apparently thinking only of how ridiculous we are. We will never get past this moment of negative assessment; the hatred will never end. It’s a catastrophe.

GETTING STARTED Okay, so how do you actually do this? You should ask questions (Socrates style) designed to influence your people the least and keep options open. For example:
What are some other ways we might be able to increase revenue?
Where are you running into roadblocks or friction?
Is there another route to where we want to go?
