Are you an effective decision maker?

As a leadership consultant, one of the main areas that I work with my clients is in helping them become highly effective decision-makers.

My definition of a highly effective decision-maker is being 100% willing to hold yourself responsible for your circumstances and fully accountable for your progress towards the results you desire.

Are you an effective decision maker?

Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 5 on the following (where 5 is a key strength) 

• Taking 100% responsibility from where you are starting from?
• Taking 100% accountability for your progress towards the results you desire?
• Inviting candid feedback about your own performance?
• Not wasting time or energy on things you cannot control or influence?
• Owning your circumstances and results, even when they seem less than desirable?
• Recognizing if you are dropping into the victim cycle and avoiding this?
• Being a continuous self-developer?
• Have a strong personal brand?
• Willing to fail and learn from this?

How do I do this?

1. Help them define how success for them will be measured
2. Ensure they have a relentless focus on these key priorities
3. Hold them to be accountable for what they have agreed to do
4. Be candid with them – I will highlight attitudes or behaviours that may be limiting their performance or productivity
