Leadership hinges on the quality of decisions we make, and in today's discussion, John Maxwell brings to light the traps that threaten our decision-making processes, such as procrastination and a tendency to say yes to every demand. It's crucial to recognize that options exist in every scenario, and by maintaining this awareness, leaders can navigate choices with greater confidence and clarity. 
Mark Cole and Traci Morrow underline the importance of seeking feedback, breaking down overwhelming decisions into manageable parts, and the necessity of staying focused on the ultimate goal to avert common pitfalls. In this episode, listeners will also learn strategies for managing the information overload and the requisite need for setting clear personal boundaries to guide their 'yes' and 'no' responses. 
By engaging with these insights, you'll be equipped not only to refine your decision-making skills but also to understand the relevance of tracking results and defining issues precisely.
Our BONUS resource for this series is the Making Great Decisions Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Decisions and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
