The Emergency Reframe

When you are in the room and everything is going wrong, use this:

"I want to make sure we are making the same bet. The bet is [X]. If that bet is right, the right choice is [my option]. If that bet is wrong, the right choice is [their option]. I believe the bet is [X] because [specific evidence]. What would need to be true for you to believe the bet is different?"

This moves the conversation from "who is right" to "what do we believe about the future." That is a conversation a first-principles leader can win.
