🧠Leadership Is Really About Making Good Decisions
Leadership is not some mysterious superpower. At its core, it is about making decisions - and doing it well.
Over time, this has evolved into what we call judgment - the ability to make hundreds of small, smart choices every day.
Key ideas to remember:
- Even with AI, YOU still need judgment to know if the answers are good
- Tempo is your mental reaction speed - how fast you sense, decide, and act
- The best performers (athletes, Navy SEALs, FBI agents) all have sharp Tempo
- Innovation is really just fast, repeated attempts at improving something
Think of it like a brain HIIT workout - lots of quick mental reps make you sharper over time.
