Today, making decisions has been elevated to an art and a science. There are thousands of academic journals and books on decision making and hundreds of frameworks to choose from.  Many people have made their whole careers out of studying the topic and teaching others how to make better decisions. That’s a lot of resources but most organisations don’t have the time or manpower to make use of them all. While having all those resources is great for every day, it can make it challenging to decide where to start when you need to improve your decision making process. We took on the challenge of distilling everything down into something that would work for almost every organisation — and we've shared it with you in this Podcast. It's highly practical and you apply it in your work immediately.  We'll also be busting some of the myths surrounding decision making

This is one of 4 sessions we're running in this series (Youtube links below):
1: Leadership and remote work - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x26Re...​
2: Optimising team performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ18v...​ 
3: 4 Steps to Effective Decision Making
4: Wellbeing

The Distinction Podcasts are all about about bridging the gap between academic research and leadership practice. Your hosts, Garin Rouch and Dani Bacon,  have read an extensive amount of academic papers and identified the 5 keys areas that high quality research shows you should focus on as a leader of a remote team.

We'll also be producing infographics to accompany the sessions so follow us on Linked and Twitter. . We want to equip managers and the HR practitioners who support them with strategies and tactics you can implement immediately to optimise performance (and bust a few management myths along the way!).
