  "This means focusing on collective intelligence instead of individual brilliance. I think it means fostering agility and adaptability cross the board, top to bottom, not just in the C suite. And it also means creating structures that allow leadership to emerge wherever it is needed. I have seen organizations make this shift. That too in quite traditional hierarchies.

  "And if these stress responses become our go to over time, gradually they erode at how effective we are as leaders and imagine what it does to our decision making rather than planning for the future. Strategically, we are busy putting out fires that we ourselves have created, because how we react to situation, it has a cascade effect and our communication style itself creates this entire culture of tension rather than collaboration.

  "And that's where I came up with my decision making framework, which I call 1234. Yes, that is the framework so that it can be easy to make decisions.

  "It is filled with thoughts, plans and reactions to whatever is happening around us. And this continuous mental activity becomes a major bottleneck. When we are trying to find that internal silence, our minds tend to react very quickly to external stimuli. We are wired to respond to the demands of our environment.

  "Don't we recollect how we handled a similar problem earlier? Or what worked with a previous boss, in a previous company, or with a previous client? We all have these collective experiences as a part of our personality. We have to own up to that personality, but not rely on what worked in the past. See the difference.
