The decisions we make as business leaders have consequences that extend far beyond ourselves, making up the legacy we leave behind. For these decisions to be successful, leaders must know their values and identify the choices that resonate with these, so they can act with courage and trust in themselves. Making values-based decisions as a leader often means looking introspectively at the causes and biases which inform our choices. By mapping the past and projecting forward, we can make better decisions in the present – decisions with a higher chance of success. “Leadership, like life, isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about questioning the path you’re on – and choosing differently when it matters most,” – so says international change management strategist and leadership coach, Fay Niewiadomski. Now, in her new book Decisions That Matter, Fay has distilled five decades of experience working with CEOs, board members and heads of state into a reflective memoir-like companion for any leader seeking the personal awareness that leads to success and positive change, in both business and life alike. As the founder and CEO of ICTN, a global consultancy delivering bespoke leadership and cultural transformation programmes since 1993, Fay has established schools, universities and four businesses. She is an expert on leadership and business culture and has led thousands of workshops across the world. Her own personal experience informs her emphasis on resilience, self-awareness and standing up for what’s right – she lived through a 15-year-long civil war, gave birth in a hospital corridor while bombs fell metres away and is a two-time cancer survivor. Fay is passionate about helping leaders find their purpose, influence with authority, develop their emotional intelligence and cultivate resilient teams and in Decisions That Matter, she distils the leadership mindset needed to achieve this.
