Why High-caliber Decisions Are Like Building a House
Making high-caliber decisions is a lot like building a house. Here are five reasons why:
1.) Both need to meet a standard.
2.) They will come under 3rd party inspection.
3.) They both require teams who understand what they’re doing.
4.) Once complete they will support many people.
5.) Both provide opportunities to learn, so we can do a better job next time.
When building a house, all of these dependencies lead back to one place.

High-caliber decisions require a blueprint as well. Without one, we could be left with a cracked foundation, an unhappy client, and no idea how we got there.
