We rarely want to spend time and mental energy revisiting the past — particularly if it involves reflecting on uncomfortable missteps. We often want to move quickly, telling ourselves that speed equals efficiency. True efficiency, however, sometimes requires slowing down, being mindful and especially looking back at the decisions we’ve made that didn’t go as we’d hoped.
Join Cheryl Einhorn, an adjunct professor at Cornell Tech, for a discussion of using your past decisions as a dataset you can mine for insights to make better future decisions.
