Decision-Making under Pressure

Let’s face it, Pressure tests us. It’s where leaders shine or stumble. Remember Arjuna’s hesitation in the Mahabharata? Krishna didn’t just give him advice; he gave him clarity. "Focus on your duty, not the outcome," Krishna said. That’s the mindset of a true leader.

When I’m in a crunch, here’s my mantra:

1. Take a breath. Clarity comes when the noise quiets.
2. Seek perspective – mentors or trusted peers often see what we miss.
3. Remember: A wrong decision made promptly is often better than no decision.

What about you? What’s your biggest decision-making challenge? Let’s work through it together.
