Decision Grade Leadership: One Year, 100 Episodes, and the Discipline of Discernment

Host Maureen (Mo), founder of the LEAP Model, reflects on 100 episodes exploring decision-grade leadership: why discernment matters more than inspiration and how leaders fail by avoiding hard trade-offs. The episode unpacks common decision failures driven by cognitive bias and overload, presents the LEAP framework (Lead, Empower, Align, Persevere), and offers a practical challenge: perform a decision audit and take one strategic action. Listeners are encouraged to protect cognitive clarity, build advisory rhythms, and move from being the most responsible to the most discerning person in the room. www.mcm-consultant.com
