Intent at least two levels up

…fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Extreme pressure. You must make decisions, fast.

✣  ✣  ✣

Make decisions that advance the whole in the right direction, even under extreme pressure.

See MCDP Commander’s Intent.

• EEK » Be Intentional, but Hold It Lightly
• HBR » The Right Way to Rally Your Troops; maybe, rally the troops is a pattern?

Therefore:

Know the intent at least two levels up and decide in favor of that general direction. Subordinate everything else.
