Why Leaders Make Decisions Based on Stories They Don’t Question — Dina Vince

Most leaders believe they’re making rational, well-thought-out decisions. In reality, many decisions are shaped by stories that were never fully questioned. In this episode of Beyond the Noise, Anastasija Lynch and Khurshid sit down with strategist and advisor Dina Vince to explore how hidden narratives influence leadership, strategy, and decision-making. They discuss why questioning is one of the most underrated leadership skills, how assumptions quietly shape outcomes, and what happens when leaders step back and challenge the story they’ve been operating from. This conversation is for leaders, founders, and professionals who want to think more clearly, make better decisions, and lead with greater awareness. What you’ll learn: Why leaders often operate from unexamined assumptions How stories influence decision-making and strategy The role of questioning in clear thinking Why success frameworks don’t always transfer How to create space for better decisions Connect with Dina Vince: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dinavince/Website: www.dinavince.com About the hosts: Anastasija Lynch: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasija-lynch-coach/Khurshid Zaynutdinov: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khurshidz/
