Master Decision Making: Lead with Confidence

[@baharazizoglu1128]

Hi Helen, many thanks for addressing my request 💐 Definetely a lot of information to digest and practice. My main takeaway is that I need to have a plan for networking which I am not very good at. On the other hand I noticed that the reason for my direct reports coming to me for each decision/problem is maybe because I am not very clear in setting expectations. Or do you recommend something different to handle this situation?

Hi Bahar. These are 2 very good takeaways. 1. Have a plan for managing your stakeholders so that you think ahead about who you need to talk with, what about and how you could engage with them. It will also give you confidence. 2. Exactly as you say, set clear expectations and make sure you clarify who has decision-making authority. Once you have done that, ask them what support they will need from you so that you can discuss and make sure you are both on the same page. Good Luck with it all! 😀
