Why Leaders Need Fewer Opinions—and Better Judgment

Listen Later

Episode Summary

Host Saeed Al Ghafri tackles why leaders get paralyzed by too many conflicting opinions, sharing real stories of lost opportunities (like a perfect showroom and a solid investment deal) and 4 practical steps to sharpen judgment, filter noise, and make decisive calls under pressure. Perfect for leaders tired of endless meetings and stalled momentum.

 

Key Takeaways

  • More opinions often create confusion and kill decision ownership—leaders are paid to judge and act fast.
  • Filter advice strategically: Focus on relevant experts, not loudest voices or family repeat-consults.
  • Structure asks clearly (e.g., "What risks? How does success look?") to get quality input, not noise.
  • Don't delay: Own the call, seek quick alignment if needed, then review and adjust—no ego in pivots.
