Dustin McMillan sits down with Chris Seifert to tackle one of the biggest challenges in leadership: decision-making. Drawing from personal experiences, including time in the Navy’s nuclear submarine force and insights from Koch Industries, Chris dives deep into the art and science of empowering teams to make better decisions.
Discover why so many leaders struggle to delegate effectively, often falling into the trap of micromanagement or codependent decision-making. Chris shares a powerful framework for overcoming these challenges—one that includes identifying decision traps like anchoring and hindsight bias, framing problems effectively, and analyzing risks.
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting your journey, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you strengthen your team’s decision-making skills, boost confidence, and transform your organizational culture. Tune in to learn how better decisions can lead to success both at work and in life!
