Ask if your plan is still good
How to do it
The why behind it
It's a really simple question that can have big rewards.
Changing conditions can turn what was a good plan into a bad idea. Asking if our plan is still good gives us the chance to be intentional and helps team communication. It's an easy way to bring up something that may be bothering you, and you may find that your teammates were thinking the same thing, but didn't want to ask.
If we ask and decide our plan is still good, great! Keep going, with more confidence. If you ask and find out your plan is no longer good, great! Move to your Plan B while there is still time to have a good trip.
