Your team agrees. But have five people examined the decision or are they repeating the same recommendation?
In this episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Part 3 of the Judgment Series, Charles Good explores how to improve team decision-making by making individual judgments, confidence levels, and assumptions visible before discussion begins.
Through a product or service launch scenario, discover how to uncover conflicting assumptions, use AI to examine the evidence, and test whether customer interest will turn into purchases.
You’ll learn how to:
• Collect individual views before the leader shares an opinion.
• Spot forecasts that rely on the same limited evidence.
• Set a clear pilot threshold, deadline, and decision rule.
• Update predictions when the plan changes.
• Turn a missed forecast into a specific improvement for the next decision.
Everybody writes before anybody speaks. The leader explains their view last and examines their own thinking first when the results arrive.
