Episode 9: Key Ingredients for Making Good Decisions – Especially When You’re in the Pressure Cooker
School business leaders continue to confront a full plate of difficult and time-sensitive decisions, begging the question, “How can we reflect on and improve our decision-making to better serve our students?”

Listen to the discussion as they explore what’s known as System 1 and System 2 thinking, as well as how education leaders can apply some of what the research says will strengthen both individual and organizational decision-making approaches.
