“We only had to do the one most important thing! This led to many fewer late nights at the computer for me and my team.”- Tara Seshan

The Story Behind This Song

Tara Seshan spent years watching her tradeoff presentations end with leaders saying 'just do both.' When she became a manager, she finally understood why: she'd been framing choices in ways that invited avoidance. She developed a framework for forcing real decisions — and the first time it worked, the relief of only doing the one thing was exhilarating.
