We keep making decisions , big or small , every day .These decisions
, in a way , define and decide our lives .Books have been written ,and complicated
and rigorous models have been invented for good decision making .I have
tried to summarise my own ideas about decision making as below .
1.Decide without fear or favour.
2.Decide on the basis of four things:a)Evidence b)Values
c)Due process and law d)Risks you are prepared to take in choosing a decision
option .
3.Decide whether you want a quick decision or a slower decision
.It depends on whether the decision is strategic or operational .
4.Decide if you need any expert advice.
5.Be clear that you and you alone are responsible for the consequences
of decision , even if there are committees , advisers or assistants to
help you .
6.Reflection and dialogue precede decision making .
7.Decide how you will implement the decision .Implementability is
a part of decision making .
8.Timing is of essence.
9.Believe firmly in the rightness of your decision .
10.Once you have made a decision , do not vacillate .Stick to it.
