How Strong Leaders Make Decisions When There’s No Obvious “Right” Answer

What do strong leaders do when there’s no obvious right answer—only uncertainty, responsibility, and growth on the line? In a recent blog from our own Jon Vaughn, he explores a decision-making framework inspired by How Will You Measure Your Life? that helps leaders turn fear into clarity by surfacing assumptions and testing risk before committing. It’s a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t just about execution—it’s about discernment. The insights also connect directly to the mindset we cultivate through the Quest Emerging Leaders Program, where leaders learn how to think well when the answers aren’t clear.

To learn more about Quest’s Emerging Leaders Program, be sure to save your seat for our upcoming info session on January 29 at 2 pm ET. It’s a free, informal discussion where you can ask questions, learn how to build a strong case for manager approval, and hear directly from program participants and instructors about what the experience is really like. Register now!
