E82: Pressure, Panic & Precision: Why Great Leaders Are Fast & Clear

Leadership is changing—and the leaders who thrive in today's fast-paced world are the ones who can make quick, confident decisions under pressure.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian breaks down a simple but powerful 3-step framework that every leader needs for sharp, effective decision-making.

Learn how to:

• Use self-awareness to guide your thinking in high-stakes moments

• Perform decision "autopsies" that help you grow from mistakes and wins

• Apply first-principle thinking to cut through the noise and focus on what matters

This isn't about moving fast just to keep up. It's about moving with clarity, confidence, and intention—even when the pressure is on.

🧠 Reflection Questions: • How does anxiety impact your decision-making speed? • Are you reacting to pressure or responding with clarity? • What's one recent decision you wish you had slowed down for?
