About this episode

The episode discusses critical decision-making skills for executives, including opportunity costs and the sunk cost fallacy.

To be effective, you have to improve your decision making skills. What happens when you get it wrong? Do you really understand the price you - and your team - are paying in terms of time, distraction and dollars? In today's show, I unpack three critical skills that every effective executive must learn and master: evaluating opportunity costs; avoiding the sunk cost fallacy; and recognizing further secondary costs. It took me years to learn the merits of all of these. Hopefully you'll be a faster study! Want to experience a "mini version" of the Next Level Executive program yourself?
