How to Lead When There Is No Clear Answer

from The Brave Next Step

I’m reflecting on one of the hardest questions in leadership: what do you do when there is no obvious right answer? After a decision in my own business did not work out as planned, I found myself asking not what I should do next, but what I actually want. In this episode, I explore why ambiguity is not a problem to fix, but a condition to navigate. We’ll look at the tolerance, curiosity and courage it takes to stay with uncertainty, resist rushing into a comfortable answer and take the next step before you feel completely ready. Highlights: (01:30) - Asking what I actually want instead of what I should do (03:13) - Why ambiguity is a condition, not a problem (04:18) - The danger of pretending to have all the answers (06:07) - The three qualities ambiguity demands from leaders (07:27) - Why uncertainty pushes us towards premature decisions (08:46) - Putting the answer down and staying in the question Connect with Emma: LinkedIn Website This podcast was lovingly produced by the humans at WAVEMAKERS AUDIO
