Main takeaways:
-Rule one: No matter what, summarize the results of a meeting and give a conclusion
*This should also include:
*Concrete recommendation
*Highlighted risks
*Next steps
-Rule two: If you're heading down the wrong path, don't be afraid to walk yourself back and find a new approach
*Examples of prompts that necessitate change
*Items that can make walking back difficult (the inertia of other stakeholders)
*What happens if you don't: the dreaded "come to Jesus" meeting
-Rule three: When planning a vision, start from the mission
*Context around the mission as an imperative giving the PM the decision making mandate
*The PM executing their vision as a lawyer example
