Fire with an Air

Fire: “We do.” Air: “We conceptualize.”

What you can do (Fire)

• Ask for two options, not a novel: “Just give me two possible scenarios, and I’ll decide.”
• Use their brain to avoid hitting a wall: “Where are we heading straight for a crash if we keep going like this?”
• Interrupt them properly: “Stop, I have enough information to decide. We’ll test this, then we’ll adjust.”

What to avoid (Fire)

• Taking their step back as intentional stalling.
• Refusing any analysis under the pretext of urgency.
• Mocking their diagrams or slides: it’s their language.
