How to Stop the Fear of Decision Making in Your Team

As I facilitate often leadership team sessions, I started to notice that many leaders at the table struggle with decision making so - in the new episode of my podcast - I offered some thoughts for you to consider to get the most out of your people during meetings.

Here're some of my takeaways:

Even team members who appear to be engaged can struggle with making decisions
The uncertainty of the world, particularly economically adds complexity to decision making and this can impact individuals' confidence, even those who are experienced.
It’s easy to make decisions when you are in your comfort zone but disruption and innovation never comes from comfort, you have to learn to make tough decisions.
To eliminate the fear of decisions you need to eliminate blame culture
If you put off making decisions, you still have to make them eventually but instead under more pressure and stress.
Build a culture of openness, transparency and where people feel they can speak up and make mistakes, and then people will make fast and innovative decisions.
Are there ways you can reduce the pressure your team is feeling from you? If you can reduce the pressure you are giving, your team will feel more at ease with making decisions
