Early in my career, I learned how important it was to make great decisions. When you’re investing, your performance as an investor is directly tied to the decisions you make, but with early-stage investing, you don’t find out if you’re right or not for a decade or longer. Then when I started to train and manage many of the Managing Directors at Techstars, learning how to make better decisions became a scalable challenge and opportunity, because now we had dozens of people making investment decisions. How to help them all improve their decision-making abilities tied directly to the returns we generated and the bottom line of the company.
I’ve been meaning to write a series on how to make better decisions, but haven’t seemed to get around to it (this is a good segue to time management and prioritization, but that’s for another post). Luckily my friend Matt Blumberg, CEO of Bolster created a 6-minute podcast on the topic. So while this doesn’t cover all the topics in how to make better decisions, it is a great summary.
