Yes or No
It is look like a very simple topic but to come to that answer is some time very difficult. Let me share some story about what I experienced lately. Experienced about how making decision is very crucial to determine our path.
I think you will agree with me that life is full of decision making. To decide what you need to wear for that day, where to have lunch, what to eat and what time to return home. Sometime the decision we make impact us directly or indirectly and sometime can be catastropic or can be negligable consequences.
I would like to share my personally experience recently that poor decision making resulted in loss of trust to the people that work around you. Here is the story that I learnt today. Last few weeks, I volunteered to join the committee that plan to organise company's yearly function. At the early stage, I was reluctant to be part of the team but thinking of helping the company to organize something diffirent and exciting, I decided to join and help the company. At first stage we are very eager to work and look forward for this yearly event. The proposal was presented to the top management and they agreed with the proposal. We are so happy because this is the first time we manage to justify and bring out the function to outside of our boundaries. For the past 10 years we only allow to organizes the function within certain KM from our office. Everybody in the committee are so happy and ethusaism to hear the proposal is approved. Few meeting and discussion were taking place to plan and execute the task given. At that stage, all were assign with tasks and have to update to the chairlady regularly because the function day is very near. Suddently the top management send an email and changed thier decision due to some financial contrain. At that time the committee members are still accept with the reasons given. Althought that the team still ethutiasm and energetic to look for other alternative which will address the concern. The team manage to come out with other proposal that at later stage we presented to the top management and been approved as expected. In the next day of executing our tasks, we being hit by another decision that disallow us to proceed with that proposal without concrete reason. At this stage you can see the morale and motivation of the team members drop drastically from energetic to discooperate. People start to reject and pretend not to part of the team by keeping quite and become just a listener. Some people is try to pull out from the committee and feel no more value if he/she remains in the committee. The trust toward management is dereasing and deminishing which they feel this simple function also management unable to decide properly. People start creating speculation that management do not know how to make decision.
Personally what I feel, if I looose trust in people it is hard for me to retrust them. That why philoshoper did said "to build trust will take you years but to loss trust can be in a second". That how powerful the trust in each individual. That why today sharing is about making decision not building trust. If you are people who dealing a lot with big decision making, for sure you have to be systematic for certain decision making. The facts you have need to be strong and reliable to you.
I want to share some tips that I got it from a book call "Just About Everything manager need to Know" The book give us some tips which I think applicable to all of us in making desicision
1. Decision making is part of problem solving sometime adopt systematic approach.
2. Try not to spend too much time on small matter focus on important decision (priortise it)
3. Don't be victim of anlysis paralysis.
4. Have fact and figure right to conclude the decision.
5. Don't be afraid of making decision, if not doubt will conquer you.
6. Lesson from previous mistake did by you or other can be a guide to you.
7. Avoid making decision under stress.
8. Make the decision and move on. Not making decision after decision.
9. Relook at what you have to decide for benefit of you in future and be ready.
