Why Good People Make Decisions They Later Regret
Why Good People Make Decisions They Later Regret
Every day, well-intentioned leaders, parents, and professionals face impossible choices. Support the struggling employee or meet quarterly targets? Enforce family rules fairly or respond to individual needs? Pursue innovation or maintain stability?
Every day, well-intentioned leaders, parents, and professionals face impossible choices. Support the struggling employee or meet quarterly targets? Enforce family rules fairly or respond to individual needs? Pursue innovation or maintain stability?
We've been taught these are either/or decisions.
But what if they're not?
Most of the conflicts we face aren't between right and wrong—they're between competing goods. When we're forced to choose between dignity and results, relationships and principles, individual needs and collective welfare, somebody always loses.
The hidden cost? When we consistently sacrifice one type of value for another, we create the very problems we're trying to solve:
Organizations that achieve financial success but lose their best people
Families that maintain harmony but stifle individual growth
Leaders who deliver results but compromise their integrity
Communities that preserve traditions but resist necessary change
What if there was a better way?
Introducing The Three Lenses: A Revolutionary Framework for Integrated Decision-Making
Introducing The Three Lenses: A Revolutionary Framework for Integrated Decision-Making
Based on Nobel Prize-nominated philosopher Robert S. Hartman's science of value, The Three Lenses framework reveals that every decision involves three dimensions of human worth—and that the most effective solutions honor all three simultaneously.
🔍 The Intrinsic Lens: Dignity of Persons
🔍 The Intrinsic Lens: Dignity of Persons
How does this decision affect people as unique, irreplaceable individuals?
This lens ensures you never lose sight of the human dignity at stake in every choice. When leaders at Southwest Airlines faced post-9/11 pressures, they used this lens to avoid layoffs while competitors cut thousands of jobs—ultimately positioning them for faster recovery and stronger loyalty.
The Transformation: You make decisions that honor people's inherent worth, building trust and sustainable relationships that become competitive advantages.
⚙️ The Extrinsic Lens: Results and Performance
⚙️ The Extrinsic Lens: Results and Performance
What meaningful outcomes do we need to achieve?
This lens keeps you focused on delivering real value and measurable impact. It's about achieving excellence, developing capabilities, and creating outcomes that truly matter—not just hitting arbitrary metrics.
The Transformation: You maintain sharp focus on results while understanding how those results connect to human flourishing and principled action.
📋 The Systemic Lens: Fairness and Principles
📋 The Systemic Lens: Fairness and Principles
How does this align with our values, rules, and sense of justice?
This lens examines consistency, ethics, and adherence to principles that serve the common good. It asks whether your decision upholds fairness and operates within appropriate systems.
The Transformation: You ensure coherence between your values and actions, building organizational integrity and personal authenticity.
The Power of Trinocular Vision
The Power of Trinocular Vision
When you learn to see through all three lenses simultaneously—what Dr. Andonian calls "trinocular vision"—something remarkable happens: False choices reveal themselves as opportunities for creative integration. You discover solutions that seemed impossible from single-lens perspectives.

"What if my organization isn't ready for values-based decision making?"
"What if my organization isn't ready for values-based decision making?"

The book includes specific strategies for introducing these concepts in traditional corporate environments.
"Can these principles really resolve conflicts between competing values?"
"Can these principles really resolve conflicts between competing values?"
