#39 Overcoming Decision Paralysis in Leadership: How Great Leaders Make Confident Choices
Manage episode 490150413 series 3640218
In this episode of Exceptional Leadership, we tackle a challenge that holds many leaders back: decision paralysis. Using Kodak’s infamous failure to embrace digital photography as a real-world example, we explore how overthinking and the pursuit of a “perfect” decision can lead to missed opportunities—and even the downfall of industry giants.
You’ll learn why perfection is a myth in leadership, and how delaying decisions often does more harm than good. I’ll share a practical framework: think critically, plan strategically, and then execute with boldness and confidence. Because once a decision is made, decisive action doesn’t just move things forward—it builds trust and inspires those you lead.
If you’re a leader who struggles with hesitation or fears making the wrong call, this episode will give you the mindset and tools to move forward with clarity and conviction.
