In this episode of Inside Great Minds, Constance Dierickx, Ph.D., also known as The Decision Doctor®, shares wisdom about leadership and decision-making from her book, Meta Leadership.   Before launching her successful consultancy practice, Constance worked as a broker at Merrill Lynch. There, she observed firsthand the power of emotion and perceptual distortion on major decisions. Her curiosity about the behavior of clients and colleagues led her to study psychology and business and earn a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, focusing on decision science and crisis intervention with individuals and organizations. Constance has since consulted with dozens of boards and over 500 executives on five continents, becoming a sought-after advisor to boards and senior executives in high-stakes leadership situations including strategic pivots, CEO transitions, board conflict, and crises. She has worked with companies from the Fortune 50 to high-tech start-ups.
