Leaders Unscripted

07-11-2023 • 45 mins

Anything in business can be distilled down to a set of decisions, and a great system makes choosing the right one for your team infinitely better.

Griffin’s decision making method has seen an overhaul in ways which they carve their path forward, and as VP of Engineering, James Trunk has been at the forefront of this vital process.

James joins us on Leaders Unscripted to take us through the values underpinning business decisions, why reflection trumps perfection, and the art of early feedback.

This episode covers:

  • How decision making was done before Griffin’s new framework
  • Griffin’s early feedback model instils agency, autonomy and pride
  • Why James’ daily reflection practice is an essential for any leader
  • Democratising decisions without a feeling of dereliction of duty
