Welcome to this week’s edition of our leadership newsletter, where we explore the leadership trait of being “Decisive.”
Decisive leadership involves making informed decisions quickly and confidently, even under pressure. It is about making the right choices at the right time, which can often be the difference between success and failure when taking #leaps.
Here’s a story:
During a major product launch, unexpected issues with the supply chain after the COVID-19 crisis threatened to derail the timeline. A company leader quickly evaluated options with her team and switched to a more reliable supplier, even though this move came with a temporary higher cost. This decisive action ensured that the product launch went smoothly and maintained the company’s reputation in the market.
Here’s why being decisive is vital in leadership:
1. Efficiency: Decisive leaders reduce delays and increase operational efficiency by quickly cutting through uncertainty and acting.
2. Clarity and Direction: By making firm decisions, leaders provide clear direction to their teams, which helps align efforts and reduces confusion.
3. Building Confidence: A decisive leader builds confidence among team members and stakeholders by demonstrating that they are capable and in control.
Decisive leadership is more than just making decisions; it’s about making well-informed decisions considering the organization's and its people's well-being.
#Leapers get informed, take decisions and act swiftly.
Best,

3 个月Mirna Eusebio Lithgow leaders who are decisive are followed as they are trusted for their confidence and courage to lead the way! And we all know a decision is never full proof we may need to pivot, and if we do, a leader has plan B and C already planned out! Right?! ??
