You cannot separate leadership from decisioning, for like it or not, they are inexorably linked. Show me someone who hasn’t made a bad decision and I’ll show you someone who is either not being honest, or someone who avoids decisioning at all costs, which by the way, constitutes a bad decision. They make bad decisions.
