Episode Description
Problems are a part of the life of every organization. In fact, the certainty of problems is as normal as breathing. As the show’s title suggests, leaders who have a record for making good decisions get elevated and those who tend not to can often get demoted or marginalized. Every effective leader, like every great player, must be able to make good decisions. In this show the focus is on providing a frame of reference for approaching the process of problem solving and then making sound decisions. As a leader, you don’t get too many chances to make bad decisions. Consequently, it is incumbent upon you to make good decisions. You will want to join your host, Bernard E. Robinson, to learn some perspectives and techniques for effective decision making.
