170 - What is it that really makes some leaders good at making decisions?

from The question is · host Thinking Focus

In this episode of the Qiestion, Paul and Graham explore what makes some people good at making decisions, while others can be a bit more hit-and-miss.   We make thousands of decisions every day, from complex leadership decisions that impact our future and the future of others, right through to having that second biscuit with your tea! Good decision-making requires a rational approach, as while our instincts can sometimes serve us well, more often than not they lead us to prioritise our immediate needs, overlooking longer-term considerations and consequences.  Decision-Making Competence considers six areas that the best decision makers master, and Paul and Graham discuss how all of us can get better in each of these areas.
