Leadership Development

Complex Decision-Making

Lead with clarity when the options are murky and the pressure is on

Decision-making is a core part of leadership. But in the real world, those decisions are rarely clean, easy, or obvious. This course gives leaders practical tools for making high-quality choices—especially when time is short, stakes are high, and information is incomplete.

Participants will learn how to avoid common traps like overthinking, costly assumptions, and cognitive bias. They’ll explore powerful frameworks for clarifying tradeoffs, weighing options, and moving forward with confidence. Just as importantly, they’ll learn how to adjust and communicate decisions once they’re made—because great leadership isn’t about always being right. It’s about making the best call you can and staying adaptable in the face of change.

This course is perfect for leaders wishing to demonstrate confidence, make thoughtful decisions, and generate momentum, even in uncertain situations.

After this course, participants will:

  • Identify decision-making traps that waste time or stall progress
  • Apply simple frameworks to clarify options and assess risk
  • Balance speed with sound judgment—even in high-pressure moments
  • Incorporate team feedback without defaulting to consensus or delay
  • Leave with a repeatable process for confident, values-aligned decision-making

The Persimmon Group took the time to learn my business and understand my expectations. Furthermore, they are committed to creating a learning organization with continuous application to the workplace versus simply delivering a class. In addition to having effectively designed training curriculums, they took special effort to weave terminology and ideas from my company culture. I recommend The Persimmon Group with 100% confidence because of the way they do business.

Highly valuable.

The Persimmon team worked hard at customizing training sessions to meet our needs of the organization and pushed for results, coupling the individual sessions with the team sessions to push for progress and awareness. From the highly valuable assessments to the group learning sessions, the Persimmon team was very insightful, responsive on follow ups and took the time to understand the needs of the organization and offered improvements and ideas for success. I would highly recommend The Persimmon Team.
