IT Leadership Community Conversations on Leadership – Decision Making Improvement: Enhancing Positive Outcomes

Decisions must be made. We have deadlines, things break, and there are people that depend on decisions we make and vice versa. Please join us as we discuss this topic and help us crowdsource how we make decisions and how we learn from them. This IT Leadership Community sponsored series of informal discussions about leadership is open to anyone in the IU IT community. Whether you are a current, emerging, or future leader, these discussions are for you. Meeting Zoom link, recommended pre-work, and discussion questions are available at the event link.
