# How to get unstuck through deliberate decision making

McKinsey (24 Jul 2024) by Aaron de Smet, Gregor Jost and Leigh Weiss quantifies the cost of indecision: managers at a typical Fortune 500 company waste over 500,000 days a year on ineffective decision making, equivalent to roughly $250 million in annual wages. The article frames decision velocity as a refinable discipline — a decision-making framework that supports an agile, responsive organisational culture and enables more effective leadership in increasingly complex environments. Direct mapping to Sylvain's PARRY framework: decision quality is a process to be designed, not a leadership trait to be assumed.
