Even while folding laundry, I find myself going over the reasons for the team’s decision.

I’ve already shared the decision, but as I fold laundry, I find myself wondering how much I told the team about why.

Scenes

Folding laundry brings the meeting back to mind. — After assigning work across the team, I wonder if I explained well enough why I divided it that way.
The outcome alone leaves out the reasoning. — If you only say, “We’ll go with this option,” it’s hard for the team to know what you considered when choosing it.
Sharing the criteria shows how the choice came about. — Say whether schedule or quality mattered more, and the reason for the decision becomes clearer.
Criteria can guide the next decision, too. — Sharing the criteria behind this decision gives the team a clue to look for next time.
Tonight, write down the reason in one line. — Write down one criterion you considered first in today’s decision. Bring it up first in your next conversation.
Next time, see whether more explanation was needed. — If a teammate’s question stays with you, you can explore together which criteria they’d like to understand better.
