In business, making difficult decisions is paramount to success, and that is why indecision is one of the biggest obstacles preventing business leaders from realizing their company’s full potential. So, how can we make the tough decisions that will ultimately decide our destiny? A great starting point is the grandfather sentiment, which explains how making quick decisions is often better than stalling to try and make the perfect one. That said, speed is beneficial while haste is detrimental, so we discover how to make faster decisions without putting ourselves in compromising situations with the help of the SCIPAB® framework. We also learn about how the environment and one’s physiology affect the decision-making process, why it’s perilous to procrastinate over important decisions, how to cultivate a habit of quick decision-making, and why self-growth and self-improvement are the best paths to making better decisions in all aspects of life.
