I've been trying to use 'Strong Opinions, Weakly Held' for a long time. I've mostly concluded that it's ineffective. Here's why, and what to use instead.

A minor addendum to this, I realise people might go "oh, you're using it wrong", which was what I used to think too.
But eventually I realised that the ergonomics of an idea matters as well. If it's difficult to get people to use it, then switch to something easier instead.

I would say that the bet making was easier to teach.
In practice, a Vietnam context made it difficult to use the language of odds, but I could get my team to a point where it was normal to ask "how confident are you?" as a way of measuring judgment strength.
Ditto for my boss.
