Pamela Brooks-Richards on how judgment informs strategic decision-making (Ep. 110‪)‬ Remarkable Leadership Lessons

    • Management

Do you know your own process for decision-making? ? Do you know how judgment shows up in your thought process? Judgment is human, we don't (yet) live in an AI world, where all decisions are powered by data and statistics. Instead, we're synthesizing information ourselves, often through the lenses of emotion, bias, and past experiences.
When you're coming up with solutions to a challenge - do you go with the first solution you come up with? Or do you tend to brainstorm and weigh multiple options? This is an example of practical decision-making strategies.
If you're wondering how to positively understand and leverage the judgments you make in strategic decision-making, this is the episode for you.
THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOWWhat role does judgment play in our decision-making at work? [3:30]System bias, people bias, and processing bias all play a role in our decision-making. What does that mean? [9:50]When you're a leader, every suggestion you make is going to be picked up by someone in the room as an action item. How do you set clear expectations with your team to avoid unintended workflows?[14:22]If I'm a leader and I want to understand anything from succession planning, hiring, risk assessments, etc - how do I get better at this? [22:00]
