I bet you're a lot wiser
today then you were five or ten years ago in making decisions for your chamber.
Your decision-making process has probably evolved over the years.
That's called experience.
But as the title suggests,
it's important to have a system in place that allows you to deliver the right
decisions consistently.
That's where practice makes perfect. It should become a natural process for you where you don't sweat the details.
That's where practice makes perfect. It should become a natural process for you where you don't sweat the details.
We make decisions all day, every day, and having a process in place can keep you on track and moving forward.
Here’s my list of items I
think about when making a decision:
- Gather all the facts
- Listen to different views
- Don't make any knee jerk decisions
- Communicate your decision clearly to all
- Don't be afraid to re-access and change your decision, if warranted
That's my formula.
Don't make it complicated.
And don't be afraid to share your decision-making process with your
staff. I suggest you'll get better intelligence from them the next time
you need to make a decision on an issue if they know the process you go through in making decisions.
Do you have a formula?
