Why Leaders make Bad Decisions

What if your biggest leadership weakness isn't intelligence...  It's the way you make decisions?  In this episode of the Voice of Growth Podcast, Manny Teran welcomes back Dr. Ricardo Valerdi—University of Arizona professor, engineer, author of The Five Tool Team, and founder of Science of Sport—for a masterclass on decision-making in leadership, business, sports, and life.  The conversation explores why great decisions begin with better questions, how bias quietly shapes our thinking, why outcomes are a terrible way to judge decision quality, and how Stoicism provides one of the most practical frameworks for navigating uncertainty. They also discuss AI, trust, Brooks' Law, intuition, Jeff Bezos' approach to decision fatigue, leadership lessons from Major League Baseball, and why tomorrow's workforce will need judgment more than memorization.  -- Follow and Subscribe to sharpen your edge in business and give you peace of mind in life.  #businessgrowth #entrepreneurship #stoicsm #megatrends #innovation ©2026 Profectory, LLC  - All Rights Reserved.
