If you’re stuck—it could be a tough question from a leader, a complex trade-off your team is dealing with, or a problem you’re working through on a walk—it helps to ask: what really matters?
Don’t settle for the easy, obvious answer. Really wrestle with the problem and figure out the 1-2 things that need to be true to move the situation or problem forward.
Then do it.
If you still feel stuck the next day: repeat.
