Thought for the Day - Questions to Ask Before the Big Day

Big match, big day coming up. These are a few questions to ask.


1) Have we got the purpose clear? (Win)
2) Is everyone clear about the purpose? (Communicate)
3) Has everyone been told of their roles (what's expected of them in clear terms) and told to prepare accordingly? (Roles)
4) Have the strongest factors, biggest strengths been put upfront - best team, best combination - to get the maximum advantage? (Strategy)
5) Have all grey areas been gone through and addressed - areas which could potentially slip up - and plans made to plug those gaps?
6) Is everyone in agreement with the plan? If not, have all possibilities been discussed threadbare and addressed until grey areas are covered?
7) Has hope been taken out of the equation? And replaced by plans and processes to follow?
8) Does everyone feel confident about what to do and how to go about? 
...
If so, we are ready to go.

Grey areas are areas which we are not clear about. It often shows up like a small doubt, something uncomfortable. The wrong person, the wrong tactics,  Such areas indicate we are rushing through without clarity, without information. We are hoping it will work out. It won't. That's where we will slip up. Spend time on it. Ask the right questions until all doubt is cleared. 

Then, go.
