MASTER Risk Model - Learning Resources - Abilities

Vision & Goal Setting

Observe your daily tasks—do they build your venture vision or just react to urgency? Adjust one thing today.

Watch how people respond when you explain your idea—do they light up, get lost, or disengage?

Track how often you revisit your goals—are they active guides or just forgotten slides?

Listen to how founders describe vision—do they anchor to it, or drift without clarity?

Notice how you feel after progress—energized, relieved, or drained? What does that say about alignment?

Observe when you hit deep focus—what types of goals trigger that state?

Strategic Thinking

Observe when you make decisions—are they driven by short-term survival or long-term positioning?

Watch how seasoned entrepreneurs frame questions—what patterns of inquiry stand out?

Track your decision-making this week—how much time goes to big-picture versus quick execution?

Notice where you get stuck in detail—what higher-level view might reveal instead?

Observe execution-heavy meetings—what’s missing from the long-term conversation?

Note your own language—do you speak in outcomes, risks, and forecasts, or only tasks and to-dos?

Innovation Management

Notice who shares bold ideas in founder talks and who holds back—what dynamics support or stifle innovation?

Track how long an idea takes to go from thought to test—where’s the bottleneck slowing progress?

Watch reactions to new product ideas—do you see excitement, silence, or resistance?

Observe which settings (time, place, energy) spark your best ideas—can you create more of them?

During product reviews, listen for patterns in failure—what untested assumptions keep surfacing?

Monitor how you respond to fresh ideas—do you build on them or dismiss too fast?
