PPP 372 | How To Quit Bad Decisions Faster: Knowing When To Walk Away, With Annie Duke
Winners Never Quit?
It's an overused cliche that winners never quit, and quitters never win. The only problem with that, of course, is that it oversimplifies the reality of the world we live and lead in.
So much of what we do as leaders of projects and teams is to make decisions. And could it be our inability to quit a project, a vendor, a tool, or a team member--could it be that even our career is being hindered because we\u2019re persisting instead of quitting?
In this episode, I'm joined by one of my favorite voices on decision-making. Annie Duke is the author of a new book entitled Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away. You may know of Annie because of her previous books on decision-making, such as Thinking In Bets. In this episode, we\u2019re going to discuss something that wasn\u2019t elaborated on in her earlier books. We\u2019re going to talk about quitting--and, assuming you keep listening--you don\u2019t quit--you\u2019re going to walk away with some practical ideas that you can start using this week.
