Law 31 — Control the Options (ផ្តល់ជម្រើស A/B/C ជាមួយ Cost–Time–Risk–Code)_ from Team Leadership with The 48 Laws of Power
Core Idea: ជំនួសឱ្យឲ្យប្រជុំពិភាក្សាទៅមិនចប់—អ្នកដឹកនាំគួរតែ រចនាជម្រើស ឲ្យច្បាស់ A/B/C ជាមួយ Cost–Time–Risk–Code និង ស្នើជម្រើសដែលបានផ្ដល់អនុសាសន៍។ វាជាចំណុចស្នូលនៃ Cluster “Communication & Influence” និងត្រូវបានបញ្ជាក់នៅក្នុង Decision Template (A/B/C) របស់ទំព័រអ្នក។
1) Option Architecture (រចនាប័ទ្មជម្រើស)
Columns That Matter
- Cost: capex/opex, change-order, lifecycle (if relevant)
- Time: lead time, install duration, schedule impact/float
- Risk: safety, quality/defect, supply, rework, approvals
- Code: standards/clause, inspection readiness, sign-off path
Design Rules
- 3 options max (A/B/C) + one recommended pick
- 1-page limit; images/tests on top; numbers consistent
- Decision window stated clearly (e.g., 48h)
- Include Go/Kill criteria to prevent backtracking
2) Example Option Patterns
Material/Method
- A: Keep baseline — low change cost, slower, low risk
- B: Prefab part — moderate cost, −1wk schedule, needs early PO
- C: Alternate supplier — cheaper, but higher QC/lead-time risk
Sequence/Schedule
- A: Single shift — safe, but slips handover by 3 days
- B: Split shift — +OT cost, recovers 2 days
- C: Parallel trades — fastest, risk: clash/inspection slots
Commercial
- A: Standard PO — normal cash cycle
- B: Early payment discount — cost ↓ 2–3%, cash need ↑ this week
- C: Volume lock — price ↓, but commitment risk if scope changes
3) Playbook សម្រាប់ស្ថានការណ៍
Case A — Change Order
- One-pager with A/B/C + photos/tests
- Show cost deltas, delay avoided, code clause
- Ask for approval window; MoM same day
Case B — Inspection Strategy
- Slot map vs. readiness; risk of fail/rework
- Include sign-off path & responsible inspector
- Pick option with best pass-first probability
Case C — Procurement Expedite
- Compare vendors on lead time/quality track record
- State payment terms & logistics risk
- Recommend B and place PO within window
4) Do / Don’t (សង្ខេប)
✅ Do
- Limit to 3 options; make them meaningfully different
- Lead with visuals; numbers in a neat table
- Declare decision window and approver up front
- Log Go/Kill criteria; lock a 7–10 day execution window
❌ Don’t
- Present open-ended “what do you want?” threads
- Mix contradictory numbers across files
- Hide code clauses; omit inspection plan
- Invite re-litigating after decision—route changes formally
5) Weekly Cadence
- Decision Calendar: list topics, A/B/C ready, decision windows
- Conversion Metric: % meetings with 1-page A/B/C (target ≥ 90%)
- Post-Decision Audit: re-check numbers vs. outcome after 1–2 weeks
6) One-Page Templates (Copy/Paste)
