In this episode, we dive deep into the book Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke, exploring how the principles of decision-making in poker can be applied to leadership in veterinary medicine. We discuss the importance of embracing uncertainty and making decisions based on probabilities, rather than certainties, to improve outcomes in both business and medical practices.

Through the lens of veterinary leadership, we explore how making decisions with incomplete information is a daily reality—whether it's diagnosing a pet's condition or managing team dynamics. We break down Duke's concept of “thinking in bets” and how it can help us separate the quality of our decisions from the outcomes, emphasizing the need for thoughtful, strategic risk-taking in veterinary leadership.

Join us as we relate Duke's insights to real-life situations in vet med, from handling difficult client interactions to navigating the complexities of team management, all while improving our decision-making skills and fostering a culture of growth and learning. Tune in to hear actionable takeaways that you can apply to both your practice and leadership journey!
