Acting with urgency is a bit at odds with discovering flaws in your plan. If you're sprinting you're less likely to notice smells and things that are inelegant, more likely to paper them over. That said, there is a time for urgency. Just not every single task.

But if you don't only surround yourself with people who think exactly like you, how will you ever recruit an army of yes men and women?

It’s basically OODA loop, which is itself just as descriptive of how people act and adjust than it is prescriptive.

How else would you describe iteratively solving problems?

Interestingly enough the problem with most of problem solving is identifying the right problem to solve.

It may sound weird but OODA starts making sense once you’ve identified the right problem to focus on.

In its original definition it was based on dogfights. There, your problem is clearly defined.

and the fun question of how do you find good problems is very hard to systematize!
reply
These steps, but in many other arbitrary orders, some with feedback to previous steps
