How to Run a Decision Autopsy That Actually Sticks

In this episode of Manager Mondays, Lucas and Luna explore the practice of decision autopsies: structured reviews of major team decisions that improve group judgment over time. Lucas walks through a concrete case: a product launch decision at a mid-stage SaaS company that involved three competing timelines, incomplete data, and a costly outcome. He shares the five-question framework his own team uses, the most common mistakes managers make when running post-mortems, and why the best decision autopsies separate process from outcome. Luna pushes on whether this works for low-stakes decisions and shares a counterexample from a retail chain where a blameless review went wrong. The episode closes with a practical tip for running your first decision autopsy in under 45 minutes. No abstract leadership theory; just a repeatable practice for teams that want to learn from their own choices. #DecisionAutopsy #PostMortem #TeamLearning #Management #Leadership #DecisionMaking #BlamelessCulture #ProcessVsOutcome #TeamRetrospective #Feedback #ContinuousImprovement #Managers #FirstTimeManager #Careers #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ManagerMondays Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
