Does Your Leader Make Rational Decisions, or Rationalize?
Briefly

Rational decision-making, a cornerstone of successful leadership, involves a thoughtful, logical approach to problem-solving and a commitment to evidence-based choices. Rational leaders assess situations objectively, weigh the available evidence, and derive logical conclusions.
Leaders tend to fall into one of two categories: those who are open to key inputs, including feedback from stakeholders and those they trust and respect, and those who make decisions based on pre-existing assumptions.
Healthy leadership is marked by the ability to be rational in decision-making, making choices that are in the best interest of the organization, rather than simply justifying decisions that have already been made.
Rationalizing decisions that have already been made is a common pitfall for many leaders, often justifying in ways that may not be entirely rational or logical.
