Some of the most important conversations in a career don't happen in the boardroom — they happen in the parking lot, five minutes before or after the meeting that actually mattered. This book is a framework for those moments: how to read them, and how to act when there's no clean answer.
Earning the right to the honest, off-the-record conversation — and knowing when you have it.
A simple check for whether a decision holds up when someone you respect is watching.
Telling apart the decisions you can walk back from the ones you can't — before you're in them.
A short, deliberate practice for resetting course after a decision that didn't land.
