Other Tips For Better Choices
- Be skeptic, meditate, learn from previous mistakes, know what the data and it’s context means, and trust your informed judgment.
- Focus on the quality of information you’re getting, not the quantity.
- Set a time limit for yourself, and ensure you’re not using your decision-making angst as a procrastination device.
- If you see that you prefer familiar and easier choices, ensure they aren’t being reframed to support something you wish was true.
- Crisp, clear decisions may seem like the best kind of decisions, but they may cost you time and extra effort when often the details may not even matter.
- Forcing yourself to choose may lead to you making high-risk decisions and ignoring alternatives.
- Imagine the effort you’re considering was a fantastic success, and then that it was an unequivocal disaster. Then, analyze the reasons for both to find blind spots, dampen excessive optimism, and bridge the gap between short-term and long-term thinking.

Why even successful leaders struggle to communicate
Closeness-Communication Bias
Highly successful leaders sometimes struggle to communicate with people that they know well. This error is not prevalent while talking to strangers, and is called the Closeness-Communication Bi...

Speak To A Group As Individuals
While speaking to groups, a leader tends to be formal, and is distracted by the large crowd, failing to create a deep level of intimacy.
The trick to effective communication is to deliver the message as if one is talking to an individual. This makes the speech emotionally genuine, with each listener able to grasp the energy and attention, as they would if it was a one-on-one communication.

Why successful people are great listeners
Being A Great Listener
- Focus on what’s being said instead of how it affects you or what you want to say.
- Put away your phone. It’s rude and multitasking takes away from comprehension.
Listening influences up to 40% of a leader’s job performance
Beyond the spoken words, the tone of voice, body language, and what isn’t said also convey valuable information.
But most people overrate their listening skills.

How to drive innovation at work
Innovation

Tips to help create an innovative culture
- Engage and empower the entire team. Everyone in your organization should feel empowered to unleash his or her entrepreneurial spirit.
- Suspend judgment. Identify “the good” in the ideas instead.
- “Fail big, but fail soon.” Team members must also know that they have permission to fail. Sometimes you must move quickly and you can’t always play it safe.
- Set a good example. Take time to connect, mentor and develop your team members. Inspire them to create, look for new approaches and think outside the box.
- Pay attention to the details. Designate specific goals, projects, times and expectations. These types of details ensure the innovation process doesn’t turn into a time suck.
- Don’t forget about the physical environment. The physical environment people are in can influence how they feel, think and interact and can impact the quality and quantity in the innovation process.
