Broadcast on:
19 May 2024

Have you been bothered by someone who responded with "whatever” to you?

I don't know about you, but I find that response dismissive and disrespectful.

Bain & Company is a global consultancy whose research has found a consistent correlation between a company's ability to make and execute decisions and its financial performance. Companies that excel at decision effectiveness outperform their peers by a significant margin—over four times the returns to shareholders over 5 years and higher profits.

.

Bain's research has revealed some of the typical decision-making mistakes that companies often fall into, each with its own potential pitfalls:

.

Perfectionism - Pursuing the 'perfect' decision can often lead to delays and missed opportunities. It's crucial to prioritize timely, well-informed decisions over perfection. 

.

Indecision/Inaction—Failing to decide, thinking that not deciding is better than making a mistake. This decision can also have negative consequences.

.

Dodging or avoiding difficult decisions - Failing to make tough calls out of fear of the consequences.

.

Our guest for the next two episodes is Richard Moran. Richard has written ten books and has a compelling syndicated radio show called "In the Workplace." 

.

He has been a CEO, a venture capitalist, a college president, a business leader in Silicon Valley, and a judge for the Canadian Innovation Exchange. 

.

Richard is best known for his series of humorous business books, beginning with the bestselling Never Confuse a Memo with Reality, which started the genre of Business Bullet Books.

.

His latest book is:  "Never Say Whatever: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference."
