Stop the Back-and-Forth: Structure Decisions So They Stick

Clear decision making podcast: how to make decisions that stick and stop back-and-forth choices for good. A practical decision clarity framework with accountability in decision making, decision fatigue solutions, and meeting productivity tips. Learn how to reduce follow up meetings, boost ownership and accountability at work, and make every decision stick the first time.

What You'll Learn:

• Use a simple decision clarity framework to lock in the WHAT, WHO, WHEN, and WHY for every important decision so it actually sticks.
• Capture decisions immutably in writing (not just verbally) to cut back-and-forth debates and reduce costly re-work.
• Write a one-paragraph decision summary that can be shared quickly and understood at a glance across teams and stakeholders.
• Name a single implementation owner within 24 hours to create clear ownership and accountability at work for each choice you make.
• Store decisions in a consistent, searchable place so everyone knows where to find answers and you avoid repeat meetings to “re-decide.”
• Apply micro-practices that reduce decision fatigue and improve meeting productivity—especially for recurring projects and cross-functional work.
• Identify one real situation in your work or life right now where a clearer decision would change the outcome, and design a stickier decision for it.
• Take one small action this week (even a tiny step) to put this structure into practice so your new decision-making habits actually take root.
