Summary
Success boils down to one thing: making good decisions. That’s easy to say, but what do we do when we are faced with terrible options, deep anxiety, and fear of failure? Learning the right framework now can make all the difference later.
Turn to Decide and Conquer to access the decision framework David Siegel used when he took over as CEO of Meetup, the world’s leading platform for making connections and finding your community. Let David’s success during one of the most tumultuous times in his company’s history help guide you on your own path.
Decide and Conquer helps all leaders navigate the big decisions that will impact their future and make their organizations a success. David outlines the 44 challenges leaders face when starting a new position. He then shows you the decision framework he applied to overcome these challenges as CEO of Meetup. David takes you on an epic journey of corporate and personal survival that includes industry titans like Adam Neumann, Barry Diller, Jack Welch, Bill Ackman, and other leaders. Learn to:
- Apply principles like open communication, transparency, and kindness to inform great decision-making.
- Set yourself up to succeed, even before you start, by removing potential roadblocks before they become a problem.
- Be a bold and decisive leader and not succumb to fear.
When David took over as CEO of Meetup, the road was fraught with obstacles that could have destroyed Meetup and his reputation. By applying the principles he had learned in previous leadership positions, David was able to make the many critical decisions that would mean life or death for Meetup when WeWork decided to sell the company. From deciding to accept the position and negotiating terms to the first 30, 60, and 90 days on the job and managing a seemingly endless series of crises during the sale and global pandemic, Decide and Conquer walks you through the key decisions you will face with invaluable advice for each one.

What a story, grippingly told.
The final lines of the book encourage the reader to note 3 takeaways. Here are mine:
1) Keep Your Options Open
Taking the road less travelled, forging the less expected career, always thinking long-term - this can be the way to maintain a healthy list of feasible options while under pressure.
2) Read the Whole Person
When beginning a business relationship, colleagues are usually on their best behaviour. We only see people's true colours when the chips are down and they're under pressure. Great advice to explore the personality in detail as early as you can, before it interferes with important decisions. Really get to the juice - anyone can present themselves well at interview or in a single meeting. Read the whole person.
3) Community
Building community is about catalysing real connection. MeetUp works to create opportunities for individuals to belong. This is transformative and focusing on an aspirational mission statement is a sure way to rally the troops. Always coming back to the positive of the mission during a crisis is essential to keeping morale up and reminding people why they're doing what they're doing.
In David Siegel, I've definitely found an impressive, insightful, honest and inspiring leader.
