Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

Often team members in the workplace will get stuck because they’re afraid to make a bad decision.
They’re worried about the consequences they might face should their decision lead to a bad result.
It’s then the leadership’s responsibility to create the psychological safety so that their team won’t be afraid of making mistakes. Otherwise, they won’t be able to grow together towards that shared goal.
My guests on this edition of Quick Hits have a range of experience and came at this question in a variety of unique, thought-provoking angles.
“The leader has to take responsibility,” says scientist and entrepreneur Dr. Mohan Ananda, “Otherwise people will start over analyzing because they want to postpone. They don’t want to make a firm commitment.”
Racquelle Pakutz, founder of Zen Freight Solutions, told us, “My team is very young. With that, they’re afraid to make mistakes because they know that it affects bigger things than just them. So, I always make a point to let them know they can make a mistake, but we learn from the mistake. We fix it and we move on, as long as we take that knowledge with us.”
Psychology professor and bereavement support specialist Dave Roberts added that “You gotta have a really nice mix of individuals who have attention to detail, who also realize that any decision we make is the right decision given the current circumstances. We have the option to gradually evaluate that decision and make incremental improvements.”
How do you make sure that enough discussion happens but not so much that no decision is ever made?
