We are most vulnerable to making bad decisions when we are sick, tired, or desperate—these are our weak points and the leverage points for those on the other side of the table.
Recognising when we are in a weakened position is crucial. When an ERP system is nearing end-of-life, a key project resource resigns, or change management becomes a struggle, the risk of poor decision-making increases.
That’s why it makes perfect sense to strengthen ourselves by surrounding ourselves with capable and trustworthy people—those who can help us steer the ship through rough seas and make the right calls when it matters most.
