9. Understanding how decisions really get made in groups

Decisions are rarely made where you think they are. In this episode, I help my mentee break down what really drives outcomes: influence, informal conversations, timing, and human behaviour beneath the process. You will learn why meetings often confirm rather than decide, how power actually works, and how to find your place without forcing it. If you are about to step into responsibility, this will change how you listen, speak, and judge situations forever.
