Make the Call: Deciding Without Second-Guessing

Second-guessing is the confidence killer of new managers. This lesson gives you a simple decision framework and a way to catch the self-doubt spiral before it steals your authority. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to: 1. Use a 5-step decision framework to resolve at least three real management decisions in one week and log the outcome of each. 2. Identify your top three self-doubt triggers and write a pre-planned response for each that you can use in the moment. 3. Keep a daily decision log for one week and mark every decision that was within your authority to make, so you can see and reinforce your own judgment.
