Today we are discussing a 9th tactic required to help you make the right business decisions, which is Results, Rewards, and Recognition. An effective decision-making team requires acknowledgement when the results of their decisions prove to be advantageous to the organization. Similarly, decisions that have adversely affected the company’s performance or outcome also need to be acknowledged. In this situation, it is important for the decision makers to analyze the factors that led to the decision and take preventative measures, so the outcome isn’t repeated. It is simply human nature to…

Today we are discussing an 8th tactic required to help you make the right business decisions, which is Too Much Information. One of the major barriers to a company’s ability to make decisions in a limited time span is a desire for over analysis of too much information. Effective decision making is hampered not only by information overload, it can also be paralyzed by over analysis of that information. I’ve heard it said that, “A confused mind says no.” If the correct processes and procedures are adopted as company policy, the provision of unnecessary information overload can be …

Today we are discussing a 7th tactic required to help you make the right business decisions, which is an Intuitive vs Logical Response. Making decisions that result in a positive outcome for the business relies on a healthy mix of logical analysis and well-informed intuitive skills. Rather than basing intuition on simple “gut feel”, intuitive analysis is based on knowledge, experience, practice, and the outcome of past decisions made in similar circumstances. One of the qualities of a good leader is their ability to make decisive choices based on limited information. Tune in tomorrow t…

Today we are discussing a 5th tactic required to help you make the right business decisions, which is Decentralized Decision Making. A top-heavy, centralized decision-making company is slow to react to change in a rapidly evolving environment. The efficient flow of information is halted by gridlocks and hurdles that prevent the timely receipt of relevant information by the primary decision makers. A more autonomous hierarchy with the power to make decisions based on the employee’s level of expertise, and experience, and with the knowledge of the company’s strategic agenda creates a fer…

“Time management.” We toss that phrase around like it's some magic solution to our problems. But let's be real – who among us hasn't felt the panicked scramble when deadlines loom or the sinking feeling as we waste hours staring at the ceiling (or scrolling through social media posts looking at the cute dogs and cats) instead of doing something productive? I know I have! The thing is, everyone talks about being organized and focused; however, it's more complicated than just slapping some dates into a fancy planner. True time management is a skill, one you've go…

Today we are discussing a 4th tactic required to help you make the right business decisions, which is a Results-Oriented Environment. In a highly functional organization, work is about getting the job done to the best of your ability and achieving the required results. The focus is on a team-oriented environment where every individual has a role in defining the end result. This requires that all employees have a clear vision about the company’s policies and values and they accept full responsibility for his or her value in the hierarchy.

Today we are discussing a 2nd tactic required to help you make the right business decisions, which is Streamlining the Decision-Making Process. Gone are the days when management decisions had to be streamed through a chain of command. The decision-making process has been accelerated by developing a strategic planning committee made up of those who have a stake in the ultimate decision(s). The participants in these committees change according to the scope of the project and the desired outcome. These cross functional strategic development committees meet on a regular basis to review and moni…

Today we are discussing the 1st tactic to help you make the right business decisions, which is Improvement in Information Technology. A disciplined and focused information gathering facility is fundamental to the decision-making process. Informed decisions can only be made when senior management has the necessary data available, and that data has to be structured in such a way that the key points are logical, visible, and measurable. These technologies provide metadata tagging and improved archive and retrieval systems, making the process of information retrieval efficient and timely for …

Leadership is not a popularity contest. In business as in life, it’s not always the good guy who wins, it’s the person who makes the good decisions. Business leaders are forced to make choices every day, as you know. Some of those decisions will prove to be highly successful and innovative; some will dissipate into thin air; some may cause dissention in the ranks, while others may have staff believing they have a chimpanzee in the CEO’s office. In the current dynamic and rapidly evolving business world, decisions often have to be made rapidly and without the benefit of a strategic agen…

Have you ever wondered what separates high achievers from the rest of us? A recent study by Stanford University found that 90% of high performers attribute their success to a strong work ethic and a goal-oriented mindset rather than raw talent or luck.

So, let’s explore nine concepts high achievers apply in their life and how you can apply them in your life. High Achievers are Made, Not BornThe most important thing to remember is that …

Today we are talking about Idea #5 of the 5 ideas to help you attain even better work life balance, which is to understand that the word “No” is powerful and is your friend! Please learn to say “no” to work and life events that you simply don’t want to do, don’t have time to do, or that won’t forward your life or career goals. You don’t have to be mean about the “no.” You can say, “Thank you, but no. I just don’t have the time or bandwidth for this right now.” Remember, you can always say, YES, later, if you still want to do it. Everyone has demands on life and work…
