When Everything Seems Too Perfect

When planning for a recent project with my team, I felt the excitement—everyone was enthusiastic, driven, and the data suggested we had every reason to succeed.

Everything seemed too perfect.

That triggered the skeptical side of me:

It can’t be that easy. What could go wrong here? Are we missing something?

And the answer was—we were missing critical elements we didn’t have insights about, but has led to a different set of actions to take and collect information.
