How can the head-heart-hands equation help you make better decisions faster?

I'm thrilled to share with you the insights from my recent podcast episode with the dynamic leadership and culture expert, Paul Epstein. Paul is known for his work in reviving underperforming sports teams and igniting growth in organizations. He's also the author of two insightful books, The Power of Playing Offense and Better Decisions Faster.

In our conversation, we delved into the concept of making better decisions faster using the head-heart-hands equation. Here's a quick breakdown:

The Head-Heart-Hands Equation: This equation represents the process of decision-making. The head stands for mindset, the heart for authenticity, and the hands for action. It's a simple, yet powerful tool to guide your decisions.

Mindset Matters: Paul emphasizes the importance of a growth and ownership mindset. He shares four keys to unlock a growth mindset: growth, positivity, grit, and curiosity.

Authenticity is Key: Paul believes that authenticity is the gateway to making better decisions faster. He shares personal stories and drills to help cultivate authenticity and passion.

Confidence Counts: Confidence is essential in decision-making. Paul has created a confidence quiz on his website to help you assess and improve your confidence over time.

Aligning Head, Heart, and Hands: Paul discusses the importance of aligning our values and goals in decision-making. He encourages us to fill our lives with more “green” decisions and to be aware of the negative impact of “red” decisions.

Paul's insights are not just thought-provoking, but also practical. I encourage you to listen to the full episode to gain a deeper understanding of his head-heart-hands equation and how it can transform your decision-making process.

Remember, making better decisions faster is not just about speed, but also about alignment and authenticity. So, let's start making decisions that truly reflect who we are and what we stand for.
