The Secret to Making Difficult Decisions

About this episode

Management decisions almost always involve uncertainty. But what if you just can’t get the facts you need—or if your colleagues disagree about what you should decide? Harvard Business School professor Joseph Badaracco calls these “gray area problems.” In this episode, you’ll learn which questions to ask yourself, as you work through a problem. You’ll also learn how to balance your business acumen with the needs of your organization and your human instincts.
