my wife is a private highschool teacher and is going through a similar situation with the OP's wife.

Why keep building where you get flooded all the time? https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/08/why-c...

Why should litigation be the first option for relief? This would have a chilling effect on practitioners coming forward. Taking from devops, having a blameless review would be in order to see what kind of assumptions/biases caused the poor decision and improve going forward not sue them out of practice. Sidney Dekker speaks about in the context of the aviation industry and how humane practices leads to safer flights for everyone.

It would be very psychologically difficult for someone whose relative just died to accept a "blameless review", and if that review lead to a decision that a lawsuit was unwarranted, well, that might make the relative angry enough to do something regrettable.

I agree that it's the right answer in a cold-blooded "improving the practice of medicine" sense, but laws have to take human behavior into account.

Yet that's precisely what the aeronautic industry does.

if you are a bigot then your range of questions and the people to put them to would be inherently limited.

At our company when I was on boarded we had a process called boot camps. Which was basically a week set aside with meetings for each respective team/department to get a high level over view of what they do and how they fit together with the company as a whole. This gave me some good insight on how I fit in as well as open up new dumb questions to follow up with.

thanks for this script, pretty helpful!

What about things that you don't like that would have a material benefit to you in the long run? A simple example being exercise. Decision matrices seem bound for immediate needs.

These models aren't meant to be algorithms you can mechanically life your life by, they are helpful in thinking (differently) about a number of things.

Exercise is clearly an example of something that's important but non-urgent in Covey's model.

The good-at/enjoys model is mostly applicable to things you've decided (or had decided for you) you have to do, somehow. Once you've decided that exercise is something you should do, thinking about it in terms of good-at/enjoys can be helpful in deciding how to go about it.

i believe Hong Kong's metro uses that strategy.

They do build malls into their stations, but the HK metro is also profitable from just gate fares.
