Executive Advisor

Decision-Making,
Leadership & Complexity.

I work with executives and organisations on:how decisions are made under pressure,and the factors that distort them.

About

Mar Pallàs Poy

Most leadership problems are not strategic.

They are systemic and often physiological.Decisions fail not because of a lack of intelligence or data,but because of the conditions in which they are made.

Decision-making under pressure

Supporting leaders in making better decisions in complex, high-pressure environments.

  • Navigating ambiguity

  • Challenging assumptions

  • Improving clarity and judgment

Organisational systems

Understanding how systems influence behaviour, performance and outcomes.

  • Structure and incentives

  • Hidden dynamics

  • Systemic constraints

Conditions for thinking

Examining the conditions that enable or limit clear thinking.

  • Cognitive load and fatigue

  • Pace and pressure

  • Environment and context

I work in different ways

depending on the context:

Advisory and consulting

Supporting leadership teams through complex decisions and transitions.

Executive coaching

Working one-to-one with senior leaders to improve clarity of thought, judgement and decision-making.

Fractional leadership

Operating within organisations as a CEO/GM to support critical decisions and stabilise systems.

Approach

Most work on leadership tends to focus on strategy and execution.My work, however, focuses on something more fundamental: the conditions in which decisions are made.Improving decisions is not only about what you know, but also about the system you are operating within and your state of mind when making decisions.

Who I work with
