-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Difficult decisions are all around us and we are sometimes FORCED to make the ones we fear the most. What is the FEAR behind decision making? At the root – it's a fear of making the WRONG decision. It's also a fear of REJECTION and RIDICULE from those that are affected. Let me give you a word of advice – don't worry about the decision or if people get mad. Make the BEST decision and if others don't like – tell them to step and make it!
A LEADER is often ridiculed and second guessed for their actions. That opportunity is the benefit of not being the leader – the downside of not leading and not making decisions is YOU ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE. So what would you rather do? Make TOUGH decisions that in most cases can be corrected down the road if made in error OR give ABSOLUTE power to someone else to DICTATE your life and lifestyle.
Seems like those decisions aren't quite as tough anymore…
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
The critical key to decision making is being WELL INFORMED of all needed information. When making tough decisions – DON'T RUSH! There are very few things in this world that REQUIRE immediate attention. You may "feel" as though they do – but they don't.
It is your OBLIGATION to make a well informed, well discussed, well considered decision. In order to benefit OTHERS – you must consider their needs in conjunction with the "pressing issue." Weigh the benefits and the risks – then DECIDE and MOVE ON.
More often than not, everything works out for the best…
Cheers,
Zach
