Law 28 — Boldness: សម្រេចចិត្តតែម្ដងពេលទុកចិត្តក្នុងទិន្នន័យ

Law 28 — Boldness (សម្រេចចិត្តតែម្ដងពេលទុកចិត្តក្នុងទិន្នន័យ)_from Team Leadership with The 48 Laws of Power

Decide once, decisively—when the data supports it. Then commit the team and move. Authority & Vision Execution Data → Decision → Drive Master Post
Core Idea: Boldness ≠ អូសបន្លាយ។ It is committed action after a clear read of data, risks, and timing. Doubt spreads; decisiveness concentrates energy. (Listed in your Authority & Vision cluster.)

1) Data-Backed Boldness Framework (5 Steps)

1. Define the Decision

  • Frame the Yes/No OR A/B/C call (e.g., material switch, phase resequence, supplier change).
  • Write the single metric of success (e.g., “handover by Dec 15 with QC ≥ A–”).

2. Evidence Packet

  • Include cost, time, safety, code compliance, site photos, and 1-page summary chart.
  • Call out assumptions + source of each number (PO, quote, schedule, test).

3. Thresholds & Kill-Criteria

  • Define Go thresholds (e.g., “≤ +3% cost; −1 week schedule”).
  • Define Kill triggers (e.g., “defect rate > 2% on lot#1 → revert to baseline”).

4. One-Shot Decision

  • Gather owners, present A/B/C, choose once. No half-commit.
  • Publish MoM: Owner · Due · Links · Decision window.

5. Drive & Shield

  • Convert to tasks (Gantt/kanban), assign owners, lock handoffs.
  • Shield the team from back-and-forth—route change requests via MoM only.

2) Playbook for Site Situations

Case A — Material Switch (Price Spike)

  • Show A/B/C with lifecycle cost, QC tests, code references.
  • Set pilot lot (e.g., 5% area), QC gate, and kill criteria before full rollout.
  • Decide once → broadcast → execute overnight procurement.

Case B — Schedule Slippage

  • Re-sequence crews (staggered shifts / parallel tasks) with risk matrix.
  • Choose one plan; freeze changes for 7–10 days while recovering float.
  • Daily 10-min control huddle: variance vs. plan; unblockers only.

Case C — Client Wants “Faster & Cheaper”

  • Boldly present trade-off table (Safety > Schedule > Cost).
  • Offer one bold but safe quick-win (e.g., prefab scope) with quantified impact.
  • Commit after data review; document change order the same day.

3) Do / Don’t (សង្ខេប)

✅ Do

  • Make a single clear call once evidence crosses your thresholds.
  • Publish MoM + decision log; convert to tasks instantly.
  • Pre-declare kill-criteria to keep boldness disciplined.

❌ Don’t

  • Ping-pong decisions—doubt infects execution and morale.
  • Bury assumptions; boldness without data is gambling.
  • Split the team with “try both”—it dilutes speed and QC.

4) Weekly Cadence (15–20 min)

  • Decision Board: Top 3 open decisions; for each—A/B/C, threshold, owner, due.
  • Variance Review: % schedule drift, top risk, action chosen (yes/no) with reason code.
  • Recognition: Shout-out for decisive, evidence-driven action.

5) One-Page Template (Copy/Paste)
