Welcome to Decision Dimensions

​

After 35 years in the C-Suite across multiple industries and at various stages of growth, I’ve learned that great leadership is not just about vision—it’s about empowering managers to act boldly within the right framework. This blog is dedicated to leaders and managers who want to maximize shareholder value while creating an environment where employees can grow, innovate, and thrive.

​

As a CFO, my perspective differs from many traditional voices on leadership, innovation, and culture. My approach is unapologetically practical—rooted in psychological research, shaped by knowledge management principles, and proven through decades of real-world decision-making.

​

At the heart of my philosophy are The Three C’s of Empowerment:

​

• Context – Equipping managers with the competitive, market, and financial knowledge they need to make informed, strategic choices.

• Clarity – Defining roles, responsibilities, and decision rights so leaders can move quickly and confidently.

• Constraints – Establishing financial boundaries that enable calculated risk-taking without jeopardizing the organization’s stability.

​​

These principles are also the antidote to what I call The Good Idea Trap™—the false belief that more ideas automatically lead to better results. In reality, most organizations have no shortage of ideas; the challenge lies in filtering, prioritizing, and focusing on the ones with the highest potential impact. Without the right knowledge systems and clear boundaries, innovation efforts scatter, resources get diluted, and the best opportunities can be lost.

 

Here, you’ll find practical insights on culture, innovation, and leadership—tools and frameworks that help managers take smart risks and drive sustained growth. My aim is simple: to help you create an empowered, disciplined, and innovative organization that consistently delivers results.
