Think back to the last decision you made as a leader. What was going through your mind? Did you know with certainty the outcomes your decision would have? In this episode, let's break this process down a little further, whether you are certain or confident.There's a difference between those two things, and one of them can be very dangerous. I believe that your awareness of it as well as how you view your history will impact your business and team.
So let's dive right in and answer this question - are you certain or confident?
