44 Decisions that will Make or Break All Leaders

Meetup CEO David Siegel breaks down the big challenges that will most significantly impact your career goals, as well as those that could make or break your company, in this groundbreaking guide outlining the 44 decisions business leaders face when taking on any leadership position. Decide and Conquer outlines the counterintuitive decision framework that David Siegel used as Meetup’s CEO to reinvigorate and then quickly sell Meetup, while ensuring the company’s legacy lived on. From the first 30 days, to the next 60 days, and all the way to the end of the first year, Decide and Conquer walks readers through all the key decisions they will face with invaluable context for each one: • Learn how principles like open communication and kindness inform great decision making. • Understand how important it is to set yourself up to succeed early on and advocate to remove any potential roadblocks before they become a problem. • See how important bold and decisive leadership is and how not to succumb to fear. • Experience the journeys of other influential and trendsetting leaders—including Adam Neumann (cofounder of coworking firm WeWork), Barry Diller (founder of internet and media conglomerate IAC), and Jack Welch (former chairman and CEO of General Electric). Being a good leader boils down to one thing: responding to challenges by making good decisions. Decide and Conquer helps leaders navigate the big decisions that will impact their future and make their organizations a success.
