Evidence can be accurate, persuasive and still too weak to justify the conclusion being made from it. In Part Three of The Thinking Advantage, I explore how leaders, professionals and everyday decision-makers can evaluate stories, testimonials, experts, research and data without treating every piece of evidence as proof.

The Thinking Advantage is a five-part 15 Minute Mondays series about thinking more clearly, challenging assumptions and making better decisions in life, leadership and business.

This episode is supported by Doc Marty Mushrooms.

Key Takeaways

• Evidence has quality; its mere existence does not make a claim strong.
• Personal experience demonstrates possibility more easily than probability.
• Visible success stories may hide the people for whom the same approach failed.
• Bias does not automatically invalidate evidence, but it should increase scrutiny.
• High-quality evidence can still be irrelevant if the context does not match your decision.
• Your confidence should rise and fall with the strength of the evidence.

Having the fastest answer in the room does not always strengthen executive presence. In Episode of The Executive Five, I explore how senior leaders can unintentionally reduce challenge, independent thinking and decision quality by speaking too early and solving too quickly. For CEOs, executives and senior leaders, this episode examines why strategic questions, disciplined listening and knowing when not to speak can strengthen executive presence, improve leadership judgment and create better thinking across the organisation.

Key Takeaways

• The behaviours that built your reputation earlier in your career can become limiting at executive level.
• Senior leaders influence the room simply by revealing their opinion.
• Answering too quickly can train capable people to bring problems instead of thinking.
• Strategic questions can demonstrate more executive presence than instant solutions.
• Strong executive leadership improves the quality of thinking in the room, rather than dominating it.

Some disagreements never get resolved because the people involved are not actually arguing about the same thing. In Part Two of The Thinking Advantage, I explore the hidden definitions, assumptions and value priorities beneath our conclusions and shows how to expose them before they distort a decision.

The Thinking Advantage is a five-part series about thinking more clearly, challenging assumptions and making better decisions in life, leadership and business.

Key Takeaways

• Many disagreements are really disagreements about definitions or assumptions.
• Abstract words can create the illusion that people agree when they do not.
• A reason only supports a conclusion if the assumptions connecting them hold.
• People can share the same values while ranking them differently in a specific situation.
• Understanding an opposing view does not require agreeing with it.
• Better conclusions are often conditional rather than absolute.
