3 Decision Making Qualities of Solid Leaders by J Loren Norris
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DECIDE SOMETHING ISN’T WORKING AND MOVE ON?
One of the marks of a solid leader is the ability to make decisions.
- Rapidly
- Decisively
- Risk Aware
RAPIDLY
There was an old phrase which came up frequently when I played billiards competitively. “Think long. Think wrong.” Basically it was a reminder that at this level, you have enough insight, wisdom, experience and intuition to make a decision. It is not always the case that more data will change your decision. If you have been here before you should be confident enough to trust your gut.
DECISIVELY
“A double minded man is like a wave of the sea - tossed about by every other idea.” Leaders need to know that a decision is a decision. Next should follow action, commitment and results. There should be no need to re-decide, second guess or ask for further opinion after the decision is made.
RISK AWARE
“There is safety in numbers. There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.” Making a big decision with large implications and ramifications should not be taken lightly. Ask for guidance, seek counsel, weigh the cost vs benefits and know the projected outcome before you decide. The longer you have been in the role you are making a decision about, the more of those deciding factors are already second nature. So count the cost, then decide and act.
More opportunities slip by without a decision to act on them than are lost any other way. Sure, you may get it wrong from time to time. You may need to course correct and redouble your efforts. But it is still more likely that you will lose the opportunity altogether by doing nothing, by waiting to decide and failing to act.
