# Six Traps That Sabotage Your Team's Decision Making

McKinsey's March 30, 2026 blog post catalogues six systemic decision-making traps amplified by agentic AI environments — including failing to define the decision, mismatching process to decision type, and confusing stakeholder management with decision authority — and offers structured tools such as DARE and ABCD to remediate them. The piece is directly actionable for SEA founders and board members seeking to install decision logs, clarify accountability, and build faster, more defensible governance processes. It explicitly addresses how AI amplifies these traps when human and algorithmic judgment must coexist.
