Entscheidungen treffen - to make decisions https://www.dict.cc/?s=Treffen
Wenn man Entscheidungen treffen muss, braucht man nicht Zeit, sondern Mut. When one must make decisions, one needs not time but courage.
Why do you have in this sentence "nicht Zeit"? Shouldn't be keine Zeit because you negating the noun?
According to dict.cc, you can use fällen, treffen, or fassen here, but not machen. Perhaps a native can confirm.

That is what I would have done if my exercise was translating to German. Anyone know?
I really want to translate this as "we are meeting all the requirements/we are complying with all the edicts/verdicts" rather than making the decisions. Can anyone comment on whether the sentence implies the agency of decision making, or whether it implies meeting external demands?
That's not really a helpful answer, considering that in English "all decisions" = "every decision."
I know, but Duo may not have seen that in this case all and every are interchangeable
Every = jeder All = alle
In English, those "every" and "all" have two different meanings too which people often got mixed up. You can read the explanation here.

My punctiation may be rusty, but "Wir treffen alle Entscheidungen" could also mean "We're all making desicions". Even the pronounciation sounds more like that. Still got it as wrong.
Perhaps a native can confirm, but I think that would have to be “Wir alle treffen Entscheidungen.”
This woman's pronunciation is bad. I could not make out 'treffen'. It sounded like 'pressen'. I am listening through good headphones.
