Identity-defining decisions

decisions that define who you are — as a person, as a leader, as an organization. These are decisions about values, mission, ethical boundaries, and strategic direction.

Why This Is a Definition

This definition precisely establishes the category of 'identity-defining decisions' by naming the term, stating its genus (decisions), and its differentia (those that define identity through values, mission, boundaries, and direction). It distinguishes these from other types of decisions and explains their constitutive nature for identity.
