Bias for action
Preferring a reversible decision made today over a perfect one made next month.
Behaviors
- Ships small and learns fast
- Distinguishes one-way doors from two-way doors
- Defaults to trying, not debating
Anti-patterns
- Analysis paralysis dressed up as rigor
- Waiting for consensus that will never fully arrive
- Punishing fast decisions that turned out wrong
Reinforce it with
- Explicit "reversible vs. irreversible" decision framing
- Time-boxed decision deadlines
- Celebrating speed, not just outcomes
Bias for action turns strategy into motion.
