Here are 3 key takeaways for leaders and decision-makers:

🔹 Decision Making is a Skill, Not an Instinct: Cheryl’s AREA Method shows that good decisions require structure and reflection—not just gut instinct. She advocates explicitly defining your “vision of success” before diving into any choice.

🔹 Understanding Different Decision-Making Styles Accelerates Trust: Cheryl introduced five “problem solver profiles”—Adventurer, Detective, Listener, Thinker, and Visionary—emphasizing that recognizing these profiles in yourself and others helps foster better collaboration and communication.

🔹 Decision Making is Iterative, Not Linear: Circumstances change (think: pandemic pivots!). Cheryl advises us to keep feedback loops open, update our assumptions, and learn from past choices using tools like decision journals to continually improve our judgment.
