🚨 Are your moral compass and your business decisions in a constant tug-of-war? 🚨
Leadership isn't just about spreadsheets; it's about navigating the messy, human side of tough calls. Choices that help some, hurt others – that's the real test. How do you reconcile your inner beliefs with the demands of the world?
That's why I (Alex D. Tremble, CEO of GPS Leadership Solutions & #KeynoteSpeaker) sat down with Eric Pliner, author of 'Difficult Decisions', Executive Advisor & Coach of Arcade Leadership Advisory to dive deep into the heart of ethical leadership.
🔥 In this episode, we break down:
✅ How to recognize that difficult decisions are fundamentally human, where choices inevitably impact individuals differently.
✅ Why balancing your personal morality with the diverse interests of stakeholders is the ultimate leadership challenge.
✅ How to move beyond surface-level strategies and confront the emotional and moral implications of your decisions.
✅ The importance of fostering a culture of curiosity and inclusion to mitigate the risks of harmful choices.
✅ How to maintain authenticity without compromising professionalism in high-stakes situations.
💡 Stop treating decisions as purely logical exercises. They're about people, values, and the impact you leave behind. If you're ready to lead with moral clarity, this episode is for you.
