Red Teaming

Attack your own ideas before reality does.

Your plan has holes. You can't see them because it's your plan. Red teaming is the practice of assigning someone — or training yourself — to attack your own thinking, find the weaknesses, and force you to defend or fix them before the real world does it for you.

This book shows you how to build honest challenge into your decisions: asking the questions your ego avoids, inviting the criticism your pride resists, and separating your identity from your ideas so you can let bad ones die.

"Iron sharpens iron" isn't just a verse — it's a method. The people who love you enough to disagree with you are a gift. Stop surrounding yourself with yes-men, including the one in the mirror.
