In today’s fast-paced business environment, each decision counts. Stress at every level impacts how and what decisions are made—sometimes with long-term consequences. When rapid change occurs, whether in an emergency or due to the daily demands of work, leaders must be equipped with tools and training for effective Decision Making Under Stress (DMUS). Because leaders must perform at their peak even under stress, they need focused training on how to build more stress-resilient teams and organizations.
DMUS for Leaders provides this training, with tools and techniques to help leaders make effective decisions even when under extreme stress or the stress of day-to-day decision making in a global economy. Case studies, examples and activities focus on business decision making and the types of stress that are unique to leaders working in the corporate world.
