This week I had the opportunity to speak with Eric Pliner about his new book, Difficult Decisions: How Leaders Make the Right Call with Insight, Integrity, and Empathy. In this conversation, Eric lays out three steps for making decisions with speed, clarity, and humanity. We talk about decision making and why it's difficult, why it slows us down and how by equipping ourselves with "skilled subjectivity" we can not only improve our productivity and focus but prepare ourselves for difficult decisions we will inevitably face in the future. Eric Pliner is the Chief Executive Officer of YSC Consulting. Eric has more than 20 years’ experience in leadership development, organizational culture, diversity and inclusion initiatives. In his new book, 'Difficult Decisions: How Leaders Make the Right Call with Insight, Integrity, and Empathy', Eric presents a path to understanding your own subjectivity, and how your morals, ethics, and responsibilities affect how leaders make the most important decisions.
