Your best ideas rarely show up at the desk. They show up in the shower, on a walk, half-asleep on a train. Gary Klein’s research on expert decision-making explains why: stepping back isn’t procrastination — it’s what lets years of compressed experience finally surface. Here’s how to build it in.
Most organisations don’t fail because people take too many risks. They fail because people stop taking them altogether. By confusing intelligent experimentation with failure, leaders inadvertently discourage innovation, slow AI adoption, and create cultures where good ideas die before they’re tested.

A common misconception is that arguments ought to lead to an agreement. What they truly aim to achieve, however, is a consensus – that is, complete shared faith in the outcome. So the goal of an argument is not to win, but to win over your audience.
