How do I make good decisions?This is a question many leaders ask as they consider choices on investments, hiring (and firing), product launches, acquisitions, and more. Often people think the decision itself is what makes a good outcome but, in reality, the many choices that follow a decision heavily influence its level of success. Well Made Decisions explores how leaders can both make a choice and make it right through exceptional implementation.In this book, you will learn:Why both decision-making and implementation are crucial to making decisions rightHow one company''s lack of candor cost them $1.4 billionWhy, despite good intentions, over 70% of mergers fail to achieve their potentialHow to finish the decisions you startWell Made Decisions includes stories and insights from Amazon, Intel, Netflix, Estée Lauder, Ann Sacks, Planar, Schoolhouse Electric and Supply Co, and more. Author and executive Jennifer Davis explains how post-decision follow-through-or the lack of it-alters the results of decisions. The book includes steps readers can take to improve how they make and implement decisions, including advice about talent density, strategy development, and team collaboration. If you''ve ever wondered what goes into a good decision, here''s your go-to guide.

Every person on the planet, who makes it through a day, has the same hours available. And each of us, regardless of what we accomplish, had the same 24 hours in each day. High performers and successful and happy people find a way to make the highest and best use of that time. That is what I wanted to do too. I challenged myself to figure out how to get more out of my 24 hours than I did before, without sacrificing my quality of life. I didn't want to settle for what many other business leaders and entrepreneurs did. I didn't want to become enslaved by the unrealistic demands of both the business and my family life. I didn't want to continue to disappoint everyone around me, both personally and professionally. I wanted to make sure we never forgot to live while retaining the passion for what we did. I wanted to live life to its fullest, one that embraced both our family and our business. I knew it was possible. I just needed to figure out how. Once I figured out what Exponentiality looked like in my life, I wrote this book to share it with those who could benefit from what I learned the most - people like you. Too many entrepreneurs create a business to have a life, but they give up their lives to sustain the business. They succeed by the numbers but lose the joy of what they do. I didn't want that. I wanted to create a balance that let me experience the fullest joy at work and home. If you're like me, I want that for you too. I started this movement because I love helping people. Especially helping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and their families succeed. I want you to grow your business and create more balance in your life so that there is more joy in everything you do. I wrote this book, "Living Exponentially: Unlocking the Power of Every Moment in Your Business and Life!" because I want to help you find balance sooner, learn it faster and better than I did
