Quitting gets a bad rap, but it can actually be the smartest move. How do you know when it's time to cut your losses?

In the final episode of this special 3-part series, Annie Duke, decision-making expert and former professional poker player, shares her insights on quitting well. With over $4 million in poker tournament winnings, Annie knows the importance of reading signals and walking away at the right moment. She provides science-backed tactics to overcome bias, including sunk cost fallacy, which often causes us to double down when we should fold.

Annie explains the power of creating "kill criteria" in advance to remove emotion from quitting decisions. She also stresses the need to appoint "quitting coaches" who can offer an outside perspective when you're stuck in analysis paralysis. Expect practical guidance on setting benchmarks, advocating for candid feedback from your team, and having the courage to make a strategic retreat so you can redeploy time and resources to more promising opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

• Simply knowing about biases won't prevent you from falling victim to them
• Imagining you're "fresh" to a choice doesn't help - you're still stuck in the current context
• Develop clear "kill criteria" for projects to dictate when you'll abandon a failing course
• Designate "quitting coaches" to provide detached, objective advice
• Give people permission to tell you hard truths - it's the kindest thing long-term
• Regularly reassess and update kill criteria as new information emerges
• Frame quitting decisions positively - you're reallocating resources to better options
