261 How To: Make Decisive Decisions

What does it really mean to be decisive? It doesn’t always mean making one big call and committing everything. Sometimes the better approach is to make a smaller decision, take the next useful step, learn something and decide again. In this episode of Culture Bites, Dominic Gourley continues the Leader’s Toolbox series by exploring a more practical approach to decisive decision making. Dominic looks at how leaders can escape analysis paralysis, turn assumptions into experiments, make uncertainty more specific and distinguish between the quality of a decision and the outcome it produces. He also explores why the way organisations respond when calculated risks don’t work out can either encourage people to make decisions – or teach them to push every decision upwards. Because decisiveness isn’t about being certain you’re right. It’s about being willing to move forward, learn quickly and make the next decision.
