#WhyIAmASolo - I Don't Have To Ask Most Of The Twelve Questions.

Twelve Questions. Execupundit's post today asks twelve questions, all of which apply to a room full of decision makers discussing the topic of the day. \

1. Who is - and is not - in the room?
2. What is - and is not - being measured?
3. Is everyone operating with the same dictionary and the same calendar?
4. What are the real and artificial constraints?
5. Which side cares the least?
6. Which side is the most impatient?
7. Have you fallen in love with a proposed course of action?
8. What is irreversible?
9. Are you solving the wrong problem?
10. Are you focusing on the "whats" and glossing over the "hows"?
11. Which benefit or advantage conceals a significant problem?
12. Have you considered the advantage of doing nothing.    

Fortunately, I am always the smartest guy in the room; although, that is usually because I am the only guy in the room. And, some of the questions need to be answered by solo lawyers as well. In any event, read the list yourself, and ask yourself one question. Which of these 12 questions do I need to answer before making my decision?
