@AdamMGrant Premortems can help prevent failures AND crises. When a team considers all of the alternatives--and a plan of action in response--they no longer need to worry. The team can just execute. #leadership

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

To avoid repeating past mistakes, run a postmortem: debrief on what went wrong.

To avoid making new mistakes, run a premortem: imagine a project has gone wrong, and explain why. Anticipating reasons for failures can help prevent them.
