You’ve seen it before: meetings that go in circles, decisions made then unmade, endless discussions without resolution.
Indecision kills momentum.
Good managers don’t just make decisions, they teach their teams how to decide.
Why teams get stuck
Decision paralysis usually comes from fear of making a mistake, of overstepping, or of upsetting someone senior. Without clear ownership, everyone waits for someone else to move first.
Sound familiar? It’s exhausting and expensive.
Create clarity and confidence
Start by defining who decides what.
Use the RAPID or DACI models (two simple decision frameworks) to assign roles:
- Who recommends?
- Who agrees?
- Who performs?
- Who inputs?
- Who decides?
Once everyone knows their part, progress accelerates.
Applying the LUPA Method
- Learn decision frameworks that bring structure and speed.
- Understand team biases that slow you down (like over-analysis or consensus chasing).
- Plan decision rituals: time-boxed debates, “decide and review” checkpoints.
- Act by trusting the process and moving forward, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Every fast, confident team shares one thing: a decision culture.
When decisions stick, performance soars
When teams know how to decide, they gain focus, autonomy, and momentum.
It’s not chaos – it’s clarity.
That’s what we teach in The Decision Lab and throughout the Alpha Lupa Advantage Academy — frameworks that make better, faster decisions a daily habit.
