"9-Step Process for Effective Decision Making"

🧵 Thread Time 👇
We have all made decisions we regret & wish we could go back.

Using a step-by-step decision-making process can help you make more deliberate, thoughtful decisions.

These are 9 steps for better decision making 👇
1. Know Your Goals

It’s much easier to make decisions when you're abundantly clear on:
- What you’re trying to achieve.
- Why you’re trying to achieve it.
- & how you plan on achieving it.
2. Don’t Rush, Take Your Time

Try not to rush into making a big decision that comes your way.
Follow your deadlines but if you need more time to meet them ask for it. Be sure you are not procrastinating.
3. Visualize Your Decision

It is hard to know exactly how an important decision will turn out. Things simply don’t always turn out like we think they will.
So, before we make a decision, taking a little extra time to visualize how it could turn out is important.

It’s an extra step that could make a difference.
4. Facts + Emotions = Balanced Decision Making

There’s certainly a value to considering emotions that should not be dismissed entirely.
But the best business decisions based on logic.

The balance of logic and emotion allows for effective decisions to be made.
5. Follow Your Value Compass

Successful people know the importance of sticking to their morals and values when making an important decision.

Being true to who we are, our integrity, professionalism, and personal reputation follow us.
6. Seek Out Feedback

When we struggle with difficult decisions and circumstances that are a consistent part of our careers, we need to know who has our back and is a valued resource.
We grow and succeed not by ourselves but with others who share and support our goals and values.
7. Don’t Overthink

Successful people know the importance of gathering as much information as they can, but at the same time, they make certain not to fall prey to analysis paralysis.

They know that they need to have a time-table to follow in reaching their decision
8. Take Your Own Advice

it’s most important to be authentic, trusted, professional, and consistent.

The public is smarter than ever before but is being bombarded with so much content and information that has led to burnout, mistrust, and fatigue.

So, plz take your own advice.
9. Consider All The Options

Sometimes, but rarely is there one unequivocal decision option.
There are no perfect plans and no perfect decisions; we make choices, in a timely manner, modify if necessary and go with them.
