A SMALL MOVE YOU CAN USE TODAY

What’s inside

Close with a decision or a clear owner for what comes next.

FROM THE GUIDE / Ask before people leave

What needs to happen for us to decide this before we leave the room?

01 / RECOGNIZE

Bring one decision into focus

Use this near the end of a meeting when a specific decision is still open. Name it first: “We still need to choose a launch date.” Ask the question plainly.

02 / RESPOND

Work with the answer

If the group has what it needs and the right person is present, invite the decision. If someone names a genuine gap, acknowledge it.

03 / FOLLOW THROUGH

Leave with ownership if you cannot decide

Ask: “Who can get that answer, and when will we revisit the decision?” Repeat the agreement once: “Sam checks the budget by Thursday; we choose the date on Friday.” Use names and dates the group actually accepts. Some decisions need privacy or more time; the useful finish is clarity about the next step.
