"It's not the critic who counts; the credit belongs to the leader who is actually in the arena... making tough calls when it matters most."

Teddy Roosevelt's words came alive during my conversation with Dean Gartelos of OTG Consulting on theDynamic Decisions Podcast.

In today's complex business arena, Dean shared how modern leaders can apply this century-old wisdom:

Like Roosevelt said - the arena is messy. The best decisions aren't made from the sidelines with perfect data, but in the thick of action.
Every failure in that arena teaches more than a safe success ever could.
When we compete like rising tides lift all boats, we transform the arena for everyone.

Dean's approach bridges Roosevelt's courage with today's need for:

  • Tech solutions that serve people first

  • Decisions made through dialogue, not dictatorship

  • Innovation that embraces smart risks

Who's stepping into their arena today? Drop your biggest decision-making lesson below.
