Last week, I was meeting with a CEO I’ve been coaching to discuss an important potential change to a key process in his business.

As I delved into this CEO’s resistance, I noted he wasn’t against the idea personally, and wasn’t even concerned his team would reject it. Instead, the resistance was more subtle and almost subconscious.

About three months ago, I attended an event called Mastermind Talks (MMT), an annual event featuring incredible speakers and a great community.

Without the experience to understand what they value most as a leader, they wind up emulating practices and behaviors they’ve admired most about the managers they’ve had—or do the opposite of the managerial tactics that frustrated them most. The problem with this approach is even effective leadership tactics can become ineffective if they are not authentic to the leader.

Over the past few weeks, my family has faced a lot of decisions, some due to unexpected challenges, others because of new opportunities. It’s been a reminder of just how mentally taxing decision-making can be, especially when you are juggling multiple decisions at once and have to choose quickly. This was a good reminder to tap into some conventional leadership wisdom of how we make decisions better, faster, and with more clarity about what really matters.
