Too many decisions fail not because they are wrong, but because trust doesn't travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecisions That Carry\u003c\/em\u003e explores what it takes to make rigorous and authentic decisions and bring people with you. Drawing on personal stories and examples from global leaders, it introduces the Yellow Bag Framework - a practical, repeatable way to access and combine judgement, data and story. It will help you make balanced decisions alongside AI and make your judgement visible enough that others can believe in it and own it - inspiring commitment, not just compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor leaders whose decisions need to carry beyond them, this book holds the questions you need to be asking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGood leaders own their decisions.
