Every day we need to make effective decisions and this usually involves balancing speed and accuracy. As it has been noted, act too slow, you risk falling behind; act too fast, decisions may fail. Therefore, here are some key questions that you can consider: - What is the context? - What is the least amount of data we need to make a decision? - What are the clear priorities? - Who can I delegate to? - What is good enough? - How can I stress test my decision? What questions help you and your team make better quality decisions, decisively? "The worst business decision you can make is no decision. The needs are not going to go away. Waiting is what has gotten us in the situation we're in now." John Peace #decisionmaking #effectiveleadership #strategy #strategist #leadership

Most businesses fall into the trap of planning without truly strategizing. Plans are comfortable, predictable—but they rarely lead to breakthrough success. So, how do you create a strategy that wins?

Intuition is a powerful ally but it doesn’t rise to the level of effective business reasoning unless paired with strategic and tactical reasoning approaches like analyzing, anticipating, detecting, identifying, determining, evaluating, interpreting, synthesizing, or understanding a current and critical business issue. The power of intuition is realized when combined with data and logical reasoning. Then it becomes a strategic asset moving a leader from intuitive to ‘intelligently’ intuitive. #Leadership #ExecutiveSearch #BusinessStrategy #MindKnotsBook #leadershipintelligence #leaderedge
