How Leaders Can Make Decisions.... Despite Burnout, Overwhelm, and Fatigue
Episode description
When is a decision yours to make as a leader and when do you entrust it to your team?
On today’s episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask talk about the fine line leaders walk when it comes to making decisions. If you think that being a leader, being in charge, automatically means you make all the decisions, you need to take a step back. Sometimes the biggest decision a leader can make is deciding to delegate that decision-making to someone else. As leaders, we also need to take a deep dive into why we make the decisions we make. Are we being ruled by fear, or do we have the best interests of our team in mind? As leaders, our job is to multiply effective leadership—to lead others well so they may lead others well.
Listen in for some actionable tips and helpful frameworks for making, delegating, and analyzing decisions.
