Explaining the reasoning for the conclusion to the team responsible for executing makes total sense. With regard to senior leadership, whose role is to approve or endorse the conclusion, does that hold true? I’ve often received advice with that audience to start with the conclusion first. Rationale being limited attention span, action orientation, and if they want the rationale, they’ll ask. Seems to me you are still leading, just a different audience, so still need it bring people along. Curious if you had come across the advice of “start w/ conclusion first w/ sr mgt” and how that does/doesn’t square w/ the recommendation to “bring people along w/ your thinking”
