DiMaio's Leadership trait #4. Decisiveness.
Decisiveness is the ability to weigh all the facts and make a timely decision. To develop decisiveness, you should:
- Get into the habit of considering several points of view for each problem; then make your best choice.
- Know when not to make a decision.
- Remember that a good decision now is usually better than a perfect decision later.
Orrin Woodward, co-author of "Leading the Consumer Rebellion", is by this definition, a decisive leader. I have heard Orrin repeatedly ask for input and I know that he carefully considers all that is brought to his attention. And I can tell you that from my perspective, every major decision he has made has strengthened him, his leaders and his Team.
What more can one ask?
