When the pressure is on, do step up, or do you stand still? There’s nothing worse than a leader who can’t make a decision. I believe it comes down to the fear of stepping forward. In this episode, I dive into how to step out and make decisions as a leader, and how it doesn’t even have to be the “right decision,” but it does have to be a deliberate one!

Go ahead and start with the decision to tune in and take a closer look at leaders that don’t make decisions.

On this episode:

• I talk about how FEAR (False evidence appearing real) is the enemy of decision making. Leaders are too afraid of making the wrong decisions - but ultimately this only makes leaders look weak. 
• I set a challenge to leaders to stop playing it safe. Your team, your organization, is looking to you to make decisions and move things forward. I talk about ways to make sure you make, uncomfortable but informed, decisions

Key Takeaways:

• Fear is what holds back leaders from making decisions
• Failure to make decisions make you look weak to your team
• We need to be deliberate about our decisions
• Organizations don’t move forward by staying “safe” and holding back
• What if that decision actually works out?! 
• Do everything you can up front to make the best decision possible
