Imagine this: You’re facing a high-stakes decision that could make or break your business. The data is overwhelming, the options feel endless, and the pressure to act is mounting. What do you do? In her 25+ years in both scientific and commercial roles, Growthspace expert, Jennifer Liberi-Middleton, has seen countless leaders struggle with moments like these. "What separates those who thrive from those who flounder is not their access to data but their ability to think analytically, solve problems strategically, and make decisions confidently. But here’s the catch: Analytical thinking isn’t just about crunching numbers. It’s about asking the right questions, uncovering root causes, and aligning decisions with long-term goals. When done right, it transforms complexity into clarity and challenges into opportunities. But only if you have the right complementary skills like communication, prioritization, collaboration, and creativity. Clients often tell me that our coaching sessions serve as a catalyst for sharpening these skills. And it’s not just anecdotal research from Harvard Business Review that indicates that employees who engage in reflective decision-making report higher job satisfaction and reduced stress." How are you sharpening these skills? #professionaldevelopment #precisionskilldevelopment #HR

Leaders today are often pulled between driving results and fostering a people-centered culture. Yet, those who make the most meaningful impact are the ones who prioritize authentic connection.

Throughout his years working in executive roles at Daimler Chrysler, Rick Goslin says, "I’ve seen the tangible difference made by leaders who lead with EQ. These leaders don’t just manage people; they connect with them. And that connection can drive real results." Comment YES to read the full article.
