Framing Decisions & Making Quality Decisions

Outliers

Some organisations are very slow making decisions. Its decision making inertia. Making decisions is too risky. I worked with a feller and if I said leave the office door open a little, that was too much for him to take on. He’s always ask “how many inches should I leave the door open by” I’d reply with “a few” just to to watch his puzzled reaction. He would play the trump card and pull the door nearly closed and say “I’ll leave it open about a hand span”.

You might have heard of the phrase “paralysis by analysis.” Some Organisations don’t like making new decisions so they stay in the same swimming lane till the pool is dry

A decision means making a choice or reaching a conclusion. Many skills are involved including: logical thinking, sequential thinking, creativity, sourcing analytic abilities, being sensitive to others and assertiveness.
