☀️ Stoic Morning Minute: When Everyone is "Right"

💭 Modern Translation

Your sales team swears they know what customers want. Engineering has "data" showing something else. User research suggests a third direction. And that vocal customer? They're absolutely certain about what's "obviously" needed.

The truth? They're all right…from their perspective. Here's what Marcus Aurelius would tell you over coffee: the moment you stop searching for the "one truth" and start collecting perspectives, product decisions become surprisingly clear.

⚡️ Your Move

In your next meeting where everyone's fighting over "the truth," try this: Instead of proving who's right, collect perspectives like you're building a map.

Start with "What I'm hearing is..." for each view. Then ask the magic question: "If everyone here is partially right, what bigger truth are we circling?"

Bonus: This approach makes people feel heard while giving you the space to make better decisions.

See you on Monday,
