Before partnering with someone,
I like to ask them
to tell me
what I should know about them.
They usually tell me
how they helped another person
they partnered with.
I then ask them
WHY they made the decisions
they made.
THAT, I find,
is more telling
than the fact that they made
the right decision
for that partner
at that time.
It is unlikely
I’ll be in the exact same situation.
I prefer to know
what their decision making process
is
ALL the time.
If the perspective partner
doesn’t have an answer
for that why question,
it is likely their decision
was merely a lucky guess.
Lucky guesses are rarely duplicated.
Ask why.
