Every wondered what they’re thinking?

Those times when you can’t fathom the reason for something, or the reason against something, or the reason for delaying something, or the reason for pushing ahead against all, erm, reason.

Except, given the distance, between organisations or between layers or between world views, you can’t ask, so you sit there frustrated, exasperated, impatient, reluctant.

(Obviously, you can ask. But that’s for another time.)

If it happens to you, it happens because of you too.

Your people, your partners, your customers – sit on their own side of the table wondering the same things. Why would you do what you’re doing, why won’t you, why the delay, why are you pushing so hard?

What about if you shared?

What about if you tried saying, this is what I see, this is what I’m thinking, what do you think?

Skippy strategy: Let them inside your thinking.
