Personal question · Problem solving, Resilience

Before the facts were in

Some decisions come with a clock: confirm the event or call it off, send the volunteers out or keep them home, commit the group's money or let the offer lapse. The facts you want may only arrive after the deadline, and waiting is not always possible.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a decision you had to make before you had the information you wanted. How did you decide?
  2. 2What did you do once you had more information, and how has the experience changed the way you handle uncertainty?
