What you'll learn

Choose your battles well

Exercising decision making prowess against conflicting interests and irreconcilable agendas starts with prioritising

Make peace with "no good options"

Even the top boss can't change certain circumstances, stakeholder interest, or the weather. Optimal outcome is relative.

Embrace the fallout

Understand how if everyone is happy with the decision that's a warning sign of sub-optimal compromise.

Why this topic matters

I'll share the circumstances of a critical decision I made in one of my CEO stints that I still think about because it flipped the script on how I handle tough calls. The context, others' agendas, the no-good-options warning signs - all matter. Learn how to choose your battles and navigate tricky leadership situations to get results while staying true to your values.
