Making the Right Decisions
The ability to make good decisions is an essential step in becoming a good leader. Don't try to make decisions unless you know all the facts and risks involved. The safest way to weigh your decisions is to put them through a checklist that covers pertinent information. --Do you understand the problem? A solution is not useful if it is developed for the wrong problem. --Have you defined the problem? --Have you written the problem down? If you don't have a written definition of a problem, you could forget it. --Have you identified all possible solutions? Get information, talk to people, check the records, and examine the facts of all the possible solutions. --Do you have sufficient information to make the decision? --Have you given the decision due process? Weighed the pros and cons. --Did you base your decision on fact, not emotions or ego? --What is your reasoning behind the decision? Consider all the facts that have a bearing on the problem. If a question comes to mind, don't discard it, but think about it. --Have you brainstormed? Some of the best solutions come from free association. --Are you confident with your decision? If it doesn't feel good, don't go with it. Copyright AE Schwartz & Associates All rights reserved.
