I assign people to attack my plans before reality does.

I choose red teamers who had no hand in creating the plan.

I murder my own ideas: I look for my plan's weaknesses myself.

I thank people publicly for finding flaws in my work.

I fix what the red team finds rather than defending against it.

I treat attacks on my plan as support, not disloyalty.

I want to hear how my plan fails before it fails.

I keep red teaming from becoming theater by acting on findings.

I invite attack on my strongest convictions, not just my tentative ideas.

I would rather be embarrassed in the planning room than in the field.
