Every organization seems to have assumptions. Some of them are quite frankly very worthwhile, because the world goes around quite easily, because those assumptions aren’t challenged, and things could just move ahead. But some assumptions just aren’t based on truth. And so, it’s important to know when and how to challenge assumptions, to make sure that just because there is a “conventional belief system” that things are a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Sometimes by challenging something, a profound breakthrough is available for you and your team. So, occasionally, make sure that you bring it up and ask, “Why are we doing it that way, and might there be a better way?”
