What’s the second thing we need to know about making decisions? In this conversation, Ashley and Dave explore intricacies of decision-making, focusing on different styles and the impact of personality on choices. They discuss the concepts of maximizing versus satisficing, the DiSC model, and the importance of self-awareness in making effective decisions. You’ll learn how to get consensus if one person is a slower decision maker than you, how valuing harmony impacts the decisions you make, and whether or not crowdsourcing is a good idea. You’ll also hear Dave’s super deep unintentional question that cracked Ashley up and briefly made her question all her life’s choices.

"If you're getting buy-in for the sake of just avoiding conflict rather than seeking an optimal solution, then that might not be a good thing.” - Dave
