So, how do you make better decisions? Is there a formula to making better decisions? \r\n\r\nToday Deepa speaks with David Siegel, author of Decide and Conquer, where he offers three main principles for better decision making. \r\n\r\nDavid\u2019s Tips for Making Better Decisions:\r\n- Not making a decision is actually still making a decision\r\n- Culture matters, don\u2019t ignore behaviors.\r\n- Don\u2019t only make decisions based on tangible items. There can be a lack of accountability around toxicity.\r\n- Be kind and nice as a leader! You can be nice and clear. \r\n- Surround yourself with people who will disagree with you. This will ultimately lead to a better decision. Make sure you ask your team to disagree with you before the meeting. \r\n- Repeat the same message many times in order to change your organization\u2019s culture.\r\n- Embrace optionality - think about what options you can give yourself based on the decisions you make.\r\n- Be careful when decisions are made by your ego. \r\n- Be willing to share about your mistakes and failures. \r\n\r\nRemember that being vulnerable as a leader will make you a better decision maker, which will lead to becoming a better leader. The vulnerable leader creates a culture of learning and developing by being open about their own failures and successes. \r\n\r\nWe hope you liked this episode!
