Decision making

Decision making is a huge part of the daily functional life of any individual, thus learning how to effective make decisions are worth exploring. Though the experience of making decisions can be somewhat paralyzing at times it can also be fairly easy once the art is learnt and practiced regularly.

Understanding the problem first is perhaps the most effective way of ensuring a suitable solution is found or at the very least the problem is rationally considered. The process of collecting as much information as possible to assist in the process of identifying the problem should be the first course of action. Jumping to conclusions without the relevant information to back such assumptions will only lead to more problems and complications.

The exercise of implementing a decision made can be a very complicated or very easy process, as it all depends on the individual and how committed he or she is to the decision itself.

The first and probably the most important barrier to overcome is within the individual itself and how high a level of conviction is of the decision about to be implemented. If the conviction element based on the choice of the decision is strong and certain, then the implementation element of the exercise becomes a lot easier and smoother. The implementation of the decision should encompass the completing or performing of the decision making process which would in turn give rise to the actually course of action to be taken based on the said decision being made. The results achieved from the implementation process should also be given due consideration as rational decision making if often based on a lot of underlying elements.

These underlying elements that could affect the implementing process may surface in the form of the current state of mind, the physical condition of the decision maker, the volatile business scenarios and many other coinciding factors. During the implementing phase of the decision making process, most individual tend to question the viability of the decision made.

Questions like whether the decision chosen is the best for that particular situation or whether the decision is even the correct course of action and many other similar misgiving are often likely to surface.

Having the confidence in the choice made is always very important as it directly impacts the implementation process. Decisions that result in freedom to have personal control should be the ones to align one’s self with, as it is with the implementation of these kinds of decisions that allows the endeavors to grow both financially and physically to greater heights always.
