Theme: Decision-making, leadership, behavioral science & leading change through uncertain times  

🔍 What you’ll learn from this episode  

  • Why most organizations fail at evidence‑based decision-making — the difference between gathering data to justify an outcome versus following a robust method without attachment to conclusions. (Discovery VS Confirmation Bias)  
  • The paradox of positive outcomes — how positive results can mislead us just as much as failures, and why leaders need to focus on process quality instead of just the results  
  • What real confidence in leadership looks like today — the power to say “I don’t know,” create safe guardrails, and delegate decisions while rewarding rigor over having answers  
  • Why culture must be embedded in systems, not slogans — how leaders can model uncertainty, incentivize behavioral habits, and build structures that align every function with strategy  
  • How to operationalize feedback loops — creating transparent, actionable cycles of signal gathering, reflection, course correction, and escalation from frontline teams to leadership  
  • Strategic thinking recalibrated for accelerated change and AI — moving from annual planning to continuous, small‑batch strategic change; scenario thinking to build resilience and adaptiveness  
  • Where behavioral science and leadership intersect — using both to redesign systems, clarify roles, and shift outcomes at scale  

🧠 Why it matters  

As AI accelerates disruption and uncertainty becomes routine, organizational decision-making, even more than technology, will define who succeeds or fails. This conversation equips leaders with the mindset, tools, and culture needed to lead through ambiguity, design better systems, and foster distributed decision-making that scales.  

🎧 Who should listen  

  • Executives steering transformation or digital/AI change  
  • HR and strategy leaders trying to embed behavioral practices into their culture  
  • Change agents looking for frameworks to link strategy, systems, and growth  
  • Anyone curious about behavioral science, systems thinking, or leadership for the 21st century
