Content: Yet, so many of us – leaders included – allow caution over the decision-making process to paralyze us. Through my work coaching leaders, I get behind-the-scenes access to the decision-making process. When I witness avoidance to make a decision, I find that it’s usually fear-based, and not because there isn’t enough information to aid in making the right choice. Banish the Fear
When you’re making a decision and the “what-if’s” start, did you ever notice many of the “what-if” scenarios that play out in your mind are rooted in what other people might think of you? We’re human. Most of us do seek approval from others. We want to be part of a group, appreciated and liked by our peers. When we think of the “right choice”, too often we allow our decision to be guided by our perception of what other people might think about our choice, or what someone else might believe is right. The truth is, we all make bad choices from time to time. When we rely more on what other people think than our own values, we increase the likelihood of making a bad decision.
