I’m reflecting on one of the hardest questions in leadership: what do you do when there is no obvious right answer? After a decision in my own business did not work out as planned, I found myself asking not what I should do next, but what I actually want.

In this episode, I explore why ambiguity is not a problem to fix, but a condition to navigate. We’ll look at the tolerance, curiosity and courage it takes to stay with uncertainty, resist rushing into a comfortable answer and take the next step before you feel completely ready.

Highlights:

(01:30) - Asking what I actually want instead of what I should do

(03:13) - Why ambiguity is a condition, not a problem

(04:18) - The danger of pretending to have all the answers

(06:07) - The three qualities ambiguity demands from leaders

(07:27) - Why uncertainty pushes us towards premature decisions

(08:46) - Putting the answer down and staying in the question
