In this episode of Trash Talk, the team breaks down the concept of The Decision Tree and how it empowers individuals within an organization to make quicker, more autonomous decisions. They walk through the four key levels, leaf, branch, trunk, and root decisions, explaining how each represents a different stage of decision-making— from everyday actions to high-stakes choices. The conversation also covers the importance of letting people fail safely, making decisions with accountability, and knowing when to seek guidance, all while offering practical insights and a fresh perspective on building autonomy and professional growth.
Remember, the best decisions aren't always the right ones—they’re the ones that help you learn, grow, and take action. So, walk out on a branch, make that decision, and keep pushing forward. The tree will survive, and so will you.
