Build Your Career Decision

Ramon Greenwood
Do you dislike making decisions and avoid the challenge whenever you can'

Management psychologists Irving L. Janis and Leon Mann say people tend to be 'reluctant decision makers' because they are 'beset by conflict, doubts and worry.' They explain that people 'seek relief by procrastinating, rationalizing and denying responsibility' in making choices.
This human tendency creates a big vacuum. Its name is opportunity!
"Organizations cannot function, certainly cannot succeed, without good decision-makers. Organizations reward those men and women who are willing and able to fill those roles," according to Ramon Greenwood, senior career counselor at www.CommonSenseAtWork.com

It is important to realize that although each decision carries with it certain consequences, no outcome is likely to be the raging success or the unmitigated catastrophe we tend to imagine.
You will not be a good decision maker if your goal is always to avoid losing rather than always trying to win. Nobody in his or her right mind can expect to be right 100 percent of the time. Besides that, as I have already said, you don't always have to be right in order to come out an overall winners.
You can't afford to be defensive about decisions that turn out to be wrong. When you are wrong, and you will be from time to time, admit it and go on.
If you want to be a good decision-maker don't get hung up waiting for all of the facts before coming to a conclusion. ......
