Decoding Decision Science: Dr Constance Dierickx on the Psychology of Leadership Decisions
Constance Dierickx, PhD, professionally known as The Decision Doctor?, and author of Meta Leadership, joins me for a discussion about the fascinating topic of leadership decision-making processes.
We make hundreds of decisions every day, from the inconsequential to the major, transformational ones. But how often do we stop to consider how and why we made our decisions? In this episode we dive into the importance of reflecting on decision-making processes and look at the organisational habits that influence decisions. Constance and I explore the relationship between discomfort, emotion, and strategy, and even venture into using scepticism as a positive. With practical applications and high-level leadership concepts, Constance shares valuable insights for leaders looking to improve their decision-making skills.?
