A big frustration we often encounter in our work concerns decision-making. Folks feel like their process is too slow; too fast; includes the wrong people; excludes the right people; is too big; is too small. No matter the specific organizational headaches, the headline basically stays the same: “We know this isn’t working but we can’t fix the problem.”
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans take a deep dive into decision-making indecision, exploring:
- The impediments that tend to block good decision-making

- The myths we tell ourselves about who can decide what and when
- The difference between being non-directive and being indecisive
- The simplest moves teams can make to up their decision-making game
