The presentation is over, but I look at the team again while we wait for the results

Even after the team finishes its presentation, I reopen the meeting materials while we wait for an answer.

Scenes

  • The team’s presentation is over, but — At four in the afternoon, I reopen the presentation and rewrite what to say when asking a team member about the results.
  • While I wait, the work becomes mine again — When there’s no answer, it feels less like the presentation is over and more like there’s still something I need to do.
  • No result doesn’t mean the decision is still open — In leadership, set separate times for waiting for the results and stepping in again. That way, the team’s work doesn’t get revised every hour.
  • Tonight, write down what you’ll wait for — On a sheet of paper, write one line for the “result you’ll wait for” and one for “when you’ll check again.” Even if you don’t feel relieved right away, you’ll have a clear standard to follow.
  • You don’t have to take on everything that comes after the presentation by yourself. — Baekho spends more time looking at how much the leader took on while waiting than at the result itself. Today, let’s start by checking whether you decided when to check again.
