Decision paralysis may seem like something that high-performers wouldn’t struggle with. From the outside, high-performing executives look decisive. They make call after call every day, shaping teams, strategy, and outcomes. But behind closed doors, even the most seasoned leaders get stuck on certain decisions, replaying them, re-evaluating them, convincing themselves they need “more information.” If…
It’s January and that means it’s time to start on a new set of annual goals! Some of you mayhave already set your goals, while others are using the next few weeks to plan for what’s ahead.
