How To Stop Overthinking and Make Better Decisions | Bidhan (Bobby) Parmar

A Darden School of Business professor explains how to use doubt to your advantage.

Bidhan (Bobby) Parmar, PhD, MBA, is the Shannon G. Smith Bicentennial Professor of Business Administration and Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. He teaches courses on business ethics, collaboration, and creative and critical thinking.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The common human allergy to discomfort and uncertainty
  • The benefits of doubt
  • The difference between choice fatigue and 'analysis paralysis'
  • The nine subtle signs of analysis paralysis
  • Why we need to be paying more attention to process vs. outcome
  • How to have confidence in the face of doubt
  • The role of rupture and repair in relationships
  • The crucial final steps in the decision-making process – specifically one Bobby calls "After Action Reviews"
  • And much more
