Tips On Making Good Decisions
Tips On Making Good Decisions
1. Define the issues: What needs to be decided? Sounds simple, but sometimes you need to understand the real issue.
2. Get the facts: Make sure the facts are accurate. Are your sources reliable?
3. What are the alternatives: Do you have options? Are they viable?
4. What are the costs/risks?: Each choice carries it's own costs, monetary and personal.
5. Are the costs/risks worth it?
6. Make a decision: You have gather the facts, looked at the options and weighed the costs, now it's decision time.
Making decisions can be easier with a personal strategic plan. Sometimes even after going through the above process, emotions still enter into the process. Having a matrix, a personal vision and mission statement can help you stay on track. If your personal vision/mission statement says that family is important than moving faraway to another state doesn't fit your personal mission.
Going with your gut instincts is fine especially in an emergency situation, but planning, having a process and carefully analzying all options is the best way to make good decisions.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
