Make the Complex Simple

Effective CEOs and business leaders move faster by finding ways to make the complex simple. They develop mental models specific to their organization and industry that they reference during uncertainty. These frameworks distill new information, filter out noise, and arrive with swift and effective solutions quickly. These mental models serve to focus decisions on the high-level function of their business and performance.

Using a framework adds speed to decisions by making the complex simple. Such a framework clarifies what is important to the organization, so that everyone, not only the CEO, can make better decisions. ⠀

Influence is best taught by example, and you can also bet that your team will model your own approach to decision making: If you move fast, within clear decision principles, so will they.
