Rewind: Making Great Decisions (Part 2)

Discover the stubborn stumbling blocks that may be hindering your decisions. In this week's episode—part 2 of a replay series from 2024—John Maxwell helps leaders identify and overcome the common pitfalls that sabotage decisive action. 

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow unpack the practical steps you can take to apply these principles in your own leadership. 

Key takeaways: 

• Procrastination, surrendering, and hiding behind information are decision roadblocks. 

• Breaking overwhelming decisions into smaller, manageable parts empowers leaders to move forward instead of stalling out. 

• True leadership requires the discipline to say no.
