Sometimes it’s not what you do — it’s what you don’t do. In this episode, Jeff Matlow unpacks omission bias: that false belief that inaction is safer than action, even when it is just as damaging.
Here are a few tidbits you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ How omission bias appears in your life
✅ How avoiding decisions will erode your leadership
✅ What great leaders do when fear of mistakes creeps in
Doing nothing is still a choice. Make sure it’s the right one.
🎧 Go on, hit play and stop letting inaction call the shots.
