“Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made, nothing happens…. Decision is the courageous facing of issues, knowing that if they are not faced, problems will remain forever unanswered.”
~ Wilfred A. Peterson
“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”
~ Roy Disney
“If you put off everything ’till you’re sure of it, you’ll get nothing done.”
~ Norman Vincent Peale
Leaders make decisions everyday! Leaders hold the ultimate responsibility to make decisions. Mindful leaders make decisions quickly!
Its critical to take charge! The first step to a good decision is for a leader to recognize and acknowledge a problem. A leader cannot avoid difficult conversations. A leader must decide to be brave and when to move with action!
A leader knows that every decision can impact others in positive and negative ways. Good decisions open opportunities and good decisions hold everyone accountable. Decisions can have dramatic impacts and it’s not what you do but how you do it! Creating a culture of clarity and accountability starts with a leader who hones decision making skills. A leader can choose to be positive or negative!
