Enhanced with resources and questions for further reflection, </span><span>Decide to Lead</span><span> examines decision-making through the lens of a leader. The book addresses what leaders </span><span>know:</span><span> knowledge of self, knowledge of others, and knowledge of one’s community and context; how leaders </span><span>think</span><span>, with a focus on cognitive systems and the forces that influence decision-making; and what leaders</span><span> do</span><span> to set up the conditions for effective decision-making in their organizations.
