In this episode, I’m jumping into a challenge many global leaders face but often don’t talk about openly: decision-making that stalls or simply doesn’t happen. Whether it's frustrating project delays or the silent confusion of unclear accountability, I’m sharing what’s really going on and, more importantly, how to shift from nothing getting decided to moving forward.

I explore not only the practical strategies we need to make effective decisions, but the often-unspoken behavioural preferences that quietly influence how decision-making behaviours vary culturally.

If you want to get decisions made, then listen in to this episode.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to spot the hidden blockers to decision-making in your meetings and timelines
• Practical foundations to create space and clarity for decision making
• Decision-making is a cultural question
• How to adjust your communication style to improve alignment
• Smart strategies for influencing decisions before, during and after the meeting

Reflection Questions to Consider:

• Where in your current project or team do decisions feel stuck or unclear?
• How are you factoring in power dynamics and cultural expectations around decision-making in your communication strategy?

Decision-making isn’t just about ticking boxes or moving projects forward, it’s a crucial part of your impact and influence as a global leader.
