The New Rules Podcast Adrian Crawford

Are your eyes wide shut to the cost of the decisions you make?
As a leader, every choice you make comes with its own set of losses, gains, and sacrifices to be made with both. 
In this week’s episode, we'll explore the intricate balance of weighing these costs and benefits. We discuss the value of having a deep understanding of the choices you make so you can be prepared for the ramifications– both positive and negative and how to lead with dignity when you find yourself stuck in a choice you have made. By acknowledging the hidden costs of decisions, leaders can navigate challenges with clarity and purpose.
