“Decision friction is when you deliberately interrupt your thoughts before forming a judgement. You adopt a series of prompts or questions that are like a speed bump for your mind if you’re in a hot state.”
This is a special episode only available to our podcast subscribers, which we call The Mini Chief. These are short, sharp highlights from our fabulous CEO guests, where you get a 5 to 10 minute snapshot from their full episode.
