The method

Seek negative feedback

Invite people who can explain where the proposal fails.

When to use it

• A strong vision makes a team reluctant to question the plan.

Ask yourself

• People support the plan. What next?

Put it into action

• Ask people familiar with real constraints for the strongest objections, then turn those objections into testable questions.

Keep these limits in mind

• Negative feedback also requires evidence; it does not prove any business path correct.
