Mattis’s Instinct Cycle #1533

Not too long ago, we took a brief tour through some of my favorite Big Ideas from Jim Mattis’s GREAT book on leadership, Call Sign Chaos.

We also recently explored some wisdom on the power of “attacking and adapting” from Darrin Donnelly’s Victory Favors the Fearless in which we revisited Phil Stutz’s “Instinct Cycle” and connected it to what’s known as the OODA loop.

Today I want to combine Mattis’s and Stutz’s wisdom as we talk about the power of making a decision, taking action THEN making your NEXT decision.
