Leadership Judgement Under Pressure

 

Under pressure, decisions are made quickly.

Over time, those decisions create patterns.
Those patterns become culture.

Patterns in:

Who is heard
Who progresses
How issues are handled

These patterns are rarely intentional.

Good people make poor decisions under pressure
when they do not have a shared framework.

This is not a confidence issue.

It is a judgement issue.
