Episode 14: Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing — Data-Driven Decision Making for Leaders

Your experience is valuable. But what happens when the data in front of you tells a different story than the one in your head? In this episode of Management in Minutes, Charles Evans explores the discipline of gathering information before making decisions — and the courage required to value what your clients and stakeholders are telling you, even when it conflicts with your historical experience. Featuring two frameworks from Joseph Nguyen's New York Times bestseller The Overthinker's Guide to Making Decisions — the SAGE Method (Serenity, Alignment, Growth, Expansion) and the TRUST Framework — this episode gives leaders a repeatable system for cutting through analysis paralysis and making aligned, mission-driven choices.
