Episode 18: Decision-Making Frameworks for Leaders


Listen Later

You have seven seconds before your team reads your hesitation. In this episode of Engage and Inspire, host Scott Liles breaks down the neuroscience, data, and practical frameworks every leader needs to make better decisions — faster and with more confidence — in an era of radical uncertainty.

Drawing on a global study of 17,555 participants (UCL + HSBC), new IBM CEO research, and a 10-year KRW International study on character, Scott reveals:

  • Why uncertainty triggers painful neurological ambivalence — and how to override it.
  • Why 45% of solo decisions fail — and what to do instead.
  • The surprising truth about AI in the C-suite (64% of CEOs trust it, but only 25% of employees use it).
  • How high-character leaders deliver nearly 5x higher ROA.
  • Three ready-to-use frameworks: The Pre-Mortem, Voice ∙ Vote ∙ Veto, and the 3-Path Test (Logic ∙ Emotion ∙ Legacy).

If you’ve ever doubted a decision, rushed a call, or felt alone in the storm — this episode is for you.
