DecisionMaking Dealing with the Avoidance Factors Part One
DecisionMaking Dealing with the Avoidance Factors Part One
A lack of confidence in your abilities to make effective decisions. Never forget that there are rarely any perfect decisions. Equally, most can be amended as necessary when future circumstances change! Your aim should be to make the "best-possible at this time" decision
A desire to justify the decision you "want" to make. If you and your partner are deciding whether to go on holiday or buy a new kitchen; and you are thinking: “I quite like Hawaii” – you’ll get the point about seeking justification rather than honestly deciding!
A lack of information – resulting in “I can’t make a decision because I don't know enough” thinking
Equally - too much irrelevant information – giving you excuses for not deciding - "I'll have to spend a long time wading thru all this detail"
Not having, or not taking, enough time to reach a careful decision: "If there isn't enough time to do it right, you'll always have to find the time to do it again"
Worrying about being seen to have made a wrong decision. The good news is that someone will always disagree. If not, that’s the time to start thinking a bit more!
Failing to follow a clear strategy when trying to solve a problem. A step-by-step process helps you on your journey - rather than simply taking a random guess
Making a decision you know to be wrong – whether to please someone (e.g. your boss); or to avoid annoying people (e.g. your team members or colleagues)
Being too easily distracted from the task in hand – using any excuse to avoid deciding
