Indecisiveness or trouble making decisions can be crippling for senior business leaders. For executives heading up critical projects or large departments, their decisions can have a big impact on the health of the company. With so much riding on the choices they make, the “analysis paralysis” phenomenon can overwhelm them. If they begin to overthink and second-guess every move they make, it can make it difficult to commit to any course of action.

How can I be agile and resilient when things go off course, as they inevitably will? That’s the transformation.
