Leaders know that making good, fast decisions is challenging under the best of circumstances.
Things are even harder if we are considering “big bets” – Unfamiliar, high stakes decisions.
Leaders and successful managers thrive when uncertainty rises.
To master uncertainty, you have to:
✅ Embrace the unknown, don't fear it
✅ Apply critical thinking to decision-making
✅ Recognize the inevitability of change
✅ Keep your emotions in check
You should avoid:
❌ Ignoring the existence of uncertainty
❌ Letting emotions override your decisions
❌ Failing to consider the impact of incomplete information
❌ Not considering the likelihood of outcomes
Many of us have been taught to view uncertainty as something to be avoided, a sign of failure or weakness.
Yet it is a fundamental part of our existence. It is a constant presence in our lives, from the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep.
The key to thriving in uncertainty? Transform it into your strength!
So how do you improve your decisions during high levels of uncertainty?
