Smarter Decisions Start with One Tiny Mindset Shift
Disruption messes with decision-making.
It ramps up urgency.
It clouds priorities.
It triggers fear.
And when leaders are under pressure, they usually default to one of two bad habits:
Overanalyze until they freeze, or
Rush forward based on instinct alone.
But here’s the truth:
In chaos, your job isn’t to make perfect decisions.
It’s to make smart, fast, adaptable decisions that keep momentum alive.
And it all starts with one tiny mindset shift:
Shift from “What’s the right decision?” to “What’s the next best move?”
In disruption, waiting for perfect clarity kills speed.
But when you focus on the next best move, you keep learning, adapting, and moving forward — faster and smarter than teams still stuck chasing certainty.

→ Decision Compression Exercise:
The next time your team is weighing a decision, ask:
If we had to make a call by end of day today, what would we do?
You’ll be amazed how much clarity surfaces once you shorten the decision horizon.
Constraint drives focus.
Focus drives action.
If you want a full toolkit for leading smarter through chaos — and frameworks for better, faster decision-making — we cover it inside the Labs.

Disruption rewards teams that stay clear, connected, and in motion. #LetsSurf
