 Dear students, I welcome you in the course of Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Decision Making. This is module number 215 and our topic of discussion is Converting the Decision into Action. Once we have elaborated the problem, the next important thing for us is that now we should do decision making to solve this problem. And once the decision is taken, the next important thing for us is that now we should implement the decision in execution. Now to execute the decision, it is very important for us to understand the action steps and we can know which action steps we should do with them. For example, the first thing we should understand is that we have to be there for converting the decision into action and remember that it is the most time consuming factor. And the time consuming factor is that during execution, we get many kinds of resistances. We have to keep our driving forces more than the resisting forces because until we do not do the resisting forces, the resistance would always be stopping us, would always be creating inertia for us. The second important thing which we need to understand is that action requires a lot of commitment from the start. We will have to keep our attention focused from the start. We will have to maintain our focus. We will have to keep our commitment in mind that what is our commitment because without that commitment, our association, our affiliation with the problem and with the decision cannot develop. And if it does not develop, then obviously we will not be able to achieve fruitful outcome. The third important thing when we are talking about decision into action is that decision always comes with work assignment and responsibility. And obviously somebody needs to be accountable. Somebody needs to be responsible. Somebody needs to be there to make the things happen, to materialize the things. So we have to be careful that accountability and responsibility is important. And when we talk about the policy, remember that policy is the general guideline for making decision. So policy without action plan is useless. And policy for us will be applicable which is applicable and in terms of its practicality and implementation. And we will not be able to implement anything that is not applicable to us. We will not be able to implement anything that is not applicable to us. Now, when we are talking about converting the decision into action, remember that the decision should be disclosed to concerned people with immediate effect because the mom stakeholders, whether it is the four-way wins, whether it is our home, whether it is our profession, whether it is a community or whether it is our own, we should be clear about what are the decisions, what are the problems and those should be appropriately communicated. So all the stakeholders must have the confidence. All the stakeholders will involve, because without that, the effectiveness of the decision will be challenged. The second important thing is that the action must also be appropriate to the capacities of the people who have to carry it out. So what are the competencies of the people? And at what level are they operating? According to that, obviously we have to do delegation of authority. And people will resume their empowerment under the delegation of authority and then they are there to take the action, they are there to take the decisions. Therefore, remember that we have to clearly understand the capabilities of the people, their competencies, their proficiencies, what are they? Another important thing when we talk about decision making and that is talking about action commitment. And remember that action commitment becomes doubly important when people have to change their behavior, habits, and or attitudes. Now this is a very important thing because at times during the implementation of the decision, people will have to change their behavior, their habits. And it is very difficult for people to change themselves related to any particular instance or any particular circumstances. We, being a leader, being emotionally intelligent people, have to focus on this, that now to implement that decision, to implement any decision, what are the requirements in the habits and attitudes of the people? And according to that requirement, it is possible that we have to do all the mentoring programs, coaching programs, their training and development. When decisions are being converted into action, then at that time, we have to face many types of enemies and difficulties. But we have to be persistent. We should overcome the resistances. And this was our main effort during emotional intelligence that we can maintain our resilience. Dear students, if we conclude all this, then remember that when decision is being transferred in practice, at that time there are certain resistances and resistances which are taking place. And it is very important to overcome those resistances in our leadership perspective. And we will be able to overcome them only when we take our decisions with emotional intelligence. Thank you.
