How You Can Make Masterful Decisions
Decision-making is a crucial element to leading your Team. Your Team will be frustrated if you don’t make a decision, so here are 3 tips to help reach better conclusions and avoid decisions traps:
- Get the right minds on the job – Making a decision is always difficult, so ensure you have the right people who can help make a decision. Have trusted people involved in the process, so you know their agenda is the same as yours.
- Decide how you will decide – Bickering for the sake of it is energy sapping. So have a specific question to answer, a clear schedule of time for discussion and the steps required to reach a decision.
- Diversity is key – too much agreement can be dangerous. For success you need dissenting and challenging opinions. You always need to listen to the other side to give your greater clarity.
