\"Decision<\/p>\n

In leadership decision making<\/a>, “What should I do next?”, is the most consistently asked question.\u00a0 Every great leader, manager, and professional needs to make these decisions well to be highly successful.<\/p>\n

I challenge leaders to address this systemically by considering their thinking and decision-making on what I call the \u201850 Choices Dilemma.\u2019<\/p>\n

50 Choices Dilemma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Very briefly it goes like this: You have 50 things to do on your to-do list \u2013 for many leaders that would be a pretty good day. I am going to offer you 2 very common options, and ask which one are you would choose?<\/p>\n

One more caveat \u2013 you only get to choose one of these options, and you never get to have the other one. Your choices: you can either choose to do priorities 1, 2, and 3 on your list, but you never touch the other 47; or, you can take care of priorities number 4 to 50, but you never get to touch numbers 1, 2 and 3.<\/p>\n

Every competent leader and top professional knows what the answer should be. \u00a0But when I ask this question, extending one hand to represent each choice, everybody hesitates, instinctively starts to lean a little toward the hand holding the 47 to-do\u2019s, and thinks: \u201cForty-seven things off my to-do list? \u00a0What a great day. \u00a0How could I do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Top 3 Priorities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We all know the best answer is to take care of the top three priorities. \u00a0So why do we hesitate \u2013 or even think about choosing priorities 4 to 47? \u00a0We all know common sense says: Take care of priorities 1, 2, and 3. \u00a0The rest are secondary, and we should be taking care of them ONLY AFTER the most critical ones are taken care of. But we look at our rush of things to do, and we just attack our list of things to do.<\/p>\n

The greatest failure comes from not even knowing what priorities 1, 2, and 3 are. \u00a0It is hard to choose the most effective option when that choice is not even clear. \u00a0Always knowing what your top priorities are is essential for every leader, manager, and effective professional.<\/p>\n

Decision Making<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want your team and organization to be far more effective, make sure everybody knows what priorities 1, 2, and 3 are. With that knowledge clearly communicated, everything will be far more successful and effective.\u00a0 Oh, and your performance and results will massively improve as well.<\/p>\n

Knowing and choosing to act on priorities 1, 2, and 3 is decision-making at the most effective, common-sense level. However, it is too rarely common practice.<\/p>\n

One of my primary messages to everyone who cares about outstanding performance and results is: When common sense becomes common practice, amazing results become commonplace.<\/p>\n

To accelerating and elevating your success,<\/p>\n
