Welcome to this first bonus episode of Fresh Start Mondays on Leadership Point of View: Conversations with Alkema and Friends podcast.
In this episode host Alkema, leadership coach and consultant provides us with 5 things to consider when making tough decisions within your organization.
1. Understanding the impact - consider the short and long term consequences/impact of your choices
2. Gathering information - is it relevant? Have you talked with others about the decision? Is it data driven?
3. Emotional awareness - knowing that emotions will be there. Anticipating them. Understanding the emotions and how to navigate them. Consider how this decision will affect the morale of your team and organization. Remember to lead with empathy when making difficult decisions.
4. Align tough decisions with your organizations core values, mission & vision - this will foster trust.
5. Communicate the decision clearly and transparently. - communicate how the decision is grounded in the mission & vision. Be open to feedback.
