 How do we know when is the right time to make a decision? Move too quickly and the decision may be ill-informed and appear hasty. Wait too long and time has cast its vote and the decision is removed from your control. As results-driven leaders, we are biased toward action and problem-solving. When our people present us with an issue, our first instinct is to craft an immediate solution, usually informed by incomplete data and biased by past experience. We frequently overvalue decisiveness and equate our ability to decide with strength and effective leadership. But what if the best decision is no decision at all? At least not yet. A question I've often heard good leaders ask is, do I need to make this decision now and if so, why? Being deliberate about the timing of our decision-making is the sign of a thoughtful leader who is more concerned about consequential outcomes than checking the box. Lead well this week.
