Decisions are how we move forward and generate momentum in our lives and work. We decide, we move forward, we learn . . . lather, rinse, repeat.

Over the next few episodes, we’re going to talk about decisions — what they are, how to make them at the right pace, and what makes a decision good.

We’re starting with the idea of full decision-making. Or, acknowledging and understanding that every decision we make has a no that corresponds to its yes. And vice versa. So often, we make decisions for something without considering the cost. Or make a decision against something, without considering its benefits.

Today, we’ll talk about this — about tradeoffs, and giving ourselves enough time to understand them before committing to a decision.

When I first began supervising people, one of the first components of my management training was a session all about building trust.

Trust is fundamental. It’s a building block of a healthy culture and a great work environment. It may just be THE building block — the thing without which you can’t create anything else.

It’s always stuck with me that this was the first thing I learned — correctly placed in order and importance.

Today, we’re going to talk about trust. I’ll share components of building trust, actions that build and maintain trust, and a metaphor or two. 🙂

Thanks for listening.

The habits of an organization either build culture or erode it.

And today, we’re talking about a big culture eroder: wasting people’s time.

Time wasting often happens in some predictable buckets. Today on the podcast, we’ll dive into each of them so you can spot whether these are happening at your company or on your team. And nip them in the bud.

I’ll also share the culture builder that prevents time wasting and creates the culture you want, not one you don’t.
