3 Ways to Make Better Decisions
Manage episode 475767526 series 3622052
Leaders often find themselves with competing decision-making frameworks: impact vs. optics, managing risk vs. capturing potential, what you want vs. what you should do. This is a recipe for bad decisions.
There's also a fundamental problem with analytical decision-making. Even the most rigorous frameworks can be manipulated to justify the outcome you secretly want. Meanwhile, some of the greatest business breakthroughs in history—think Steve Jobs or Elon Musk—weren't driven by data but by intuitive leadership.
You'll learn:
- Why stress sabotages your decision-making biology
- How to escape the trap of short-term thinking
- A surprising technique using a coin flip to reveal your true preferences
- The 10-10-10 framework that transforms how you evaluate choices
Learn to make more confident decisions even with imperfect information, and position yourself as the kind of leader who drives meaningful change rather than simply turning the crank on daily minutiae.
