The Leadership Decision Log

A practical decision-tracking system for leaders who want to learn from their calls instead of rewriting history.

That’s it. No bullets here.

Leadership decisions don’t come with feedback loops.

There’s no compiler for leadership.
You don’t get a green checkmark when you make a call.
You might not know whether you were right for six months.

In the meantime, your memory will lie to you.

You’ll convince yourself you “knew it would turn out this way all along.”

The Leadership Decision Log exists to stop that.

This is a simple system for tracking the thinking behind your decisions, setting a date to revisit them, and learning from the outcome instead of rewriting history.

It’s designed for decisions that take time to play out:

• Hiring
• Roadmap tradeoffs
• Organizational changes
• Strategy calls
• Team structure decisions

What’s included

1. Printable Leadership Decision Log (PDF)
A clean, repeatable journal you can print and use for every major decision.
Structured prompts force clarity around context, options, invisible pressure, confidence, and outcomes.

2. Notion Decision Log Template
A ready-to-duplicate Notion database with:

• A structured decision schema
• Built-in views for Active, Reckoning Due, and Closed decisions
• An example entry to guide usage

Use whichever format fits how you think. Many people use both.

How it works

1. Log the decision when you make it
2. Write down what you think will happen
3. Set a Reckoning Date
4. Come back once
5. Be honest
6. Close the loop

That’s the whole system.

This is not a productivity tool.
It’s an accountability tool.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your instincts are actually good — or whether you’ve just been lucky — this will tell you.

After purchase, you’ll get:

• A downloadable PDF (printable decision journal)
• A private Notion template link (duplicate into your workspace)
