Chris WilliamsonHow To Know If You’re About To Make A Terrible Decision - Joe Hudson
Chris Williamson
Terrible decisions 0:00
A terrible decision is not just missing what you want. It is getting it in a way that leaves you worse off later. If you want the cigarette, the girl, the money, or the job, ask what it does over time, not just at once.
Self abandonment 2:30
Fear in the choice usually means your fear is unprocessed, and the more fear you bring, the less likely you get what you want. Resentment is a clue. It means you have abandoned yourself, kept the peace, and said yes when you meant no.
Decide and learn 7:02
People become more decisive when identity is stable. CEOs often learn that making decisions beats waiting to be right, because each choice becomes an experiment. High conviction and openness can go together when being wrong does not threaten who you are.
