19 June 2009 - 22:24
Like entrepreneurs or owners of our business, we must make decisions constantly.
He does not concern the type of decision that is, a simple taken good decision could mean the success, whereas another simple taken bad decision could mean the failure.
Reason why always we must try to make good decisions, he does not concern the type or size of these.
And to make good decisions, we see next a list of 7 advice who can help us in it:
1. To meditate well each decision
Whenever we must make a decision, he does not concern the type or size of this one, we must analyze it and meditate it well.
If one is important decisions, we must successfully obtain a greater information and take a greater time to be able to analyze them.
But one is routine decisions, we must not take too much time, and have the capacity to analyze and to make decisions quickly. Always trusting our good judgment, our experience and in our instincts.
2.
Often a decision is taken thinking only about the consequences that this one could generate in the short term, and the consequences are not taken very into account that could generate in the future.
For example, it is chosen to penetrate in a certain type of business, thinking about the fast benefits that could generate, leaving of side other opportunities that perhaps do not offer to expresses benefits, but that in the future, unlike the first case, present/display good possibilities of becoming great businesses.
Therefore, the recommendation is that when taking a decision, not only we must consider the immediate consequences, but also all the future consequences that could generate taking the decision.
3. To avoid the “paralysis by analysis”
Whenever we make a decision, we must analyze and meditate it or, but without falling in the excess, that is to say, trying to anticipate it or to plan it everything.
We must know that when taking a decision, no matter how hard we try to avoid it, will always be certain risk that the things do not happen as they are expected.
Therefore, we must avoid to try to control it everything and, sometimes, not to continue extending by more time the taking of the decision, to assume certain risk, and to take it in one go.
4. To trust the own instincts
In order to make good decisions, we must trust our good judgment, our experience, but mainly, in our instincts of industralist.
We never must avoid to our instincts, they will say to us when a decision is the correct one, and it will alert to us when a decision who we are on the verge of taking, is not the indicated one.
5. Not to make a decision if we are not convinced
If we are about to make a decision, but within us we are not very safe that it is the correct decision, then we do not have to take it by any reason.
We do not have to force the decisions, if we are not sure that we are going to make the correct decision, we must take a greater time, successfully obtain more information, and not make a decision until we are completely safe of her.
6. Not to make decisions on the basis of emotions
If we made a decision when we are worried, worried, annoying, tense or nervous, it is very probable that the decision that we take is missed.
The recommendable thing in these cases is not to let itself take by the emotions, hope to reclaim the tranquility, and just then make the decision.
Being calm will give to a greater clarity and wisdom us to make the correct decision, and to avoid to commit errors which more ahead we could regret.
7. To delegate decisions
Sometimes to delegate decisions can have your advantages: perhaps she allows to have us a greater time to realize other more important things, perhaps she allows us to motivate the worker to whom we delegate the decision to him, or perhaps she allows us to have better results, for example, if the person to whom we delegated the decision to him, counts on a greater information or experience in the subject at issue.
To delegate a decision can be a good alternative, but before it, we must always make sure that it is not necessary that we are who we make the decision, and of which the person to whom we are going away it to delegate, has the capacity necessary to be able to take it.
