Leadership & Learning w/Dr. JBT

Episode 12: Inclusive Decision-Making


Listen Later

As leaders, we're constantly making decisions, but are we making them the right way? In this episode, Dr. JBT introduces a practical framework for making smarter, more inclusive decisions using the Vroom-Jago-Yetten decision-making model.

You'll learn how to assess when to decide on your own, when to consult a few trusted voices, and when to fully engage or even delegate to your team. From quick top-down calls to full team ownership, this continuum-based approach can help you lead with intention while balancing time, expertise, and buy-in.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The 5 approaches for decision-making and when to use each

  • 3 key questions to guide your decision-making process:

    1. Who holds the information or expertise?

    2. Is buy-in essential for implementation?

    3. Is this decision time-sensitive?

  • How to manage conflicting priorities (time vs. buy-in, expertise vs. authority)

Whether you're a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, this episode will help you pause, assess, and choose the best decision-making approach for your context.
