FREE online courses on the Art Of Effective Time Management - TIME WASTERS - INDECISION

 

This is a major time waster, also known as the policy of drift.

 Victims of this malady feel time will take care of things,

 an attitude often disastrous for organizations

 

 and suicidal for careers. It is better to take a rapid,

reasoned decision, as this leaves sufficient time to

amend it if events prove it needs modification(s).

Snap decisions, without proper thought and assessment

of pros and cons, of course, are not advisable. Strong managers never hesitate to change their minds, as they have no other considerations apart from organizational well being. This approach is particularly useful in crises (both avoidable and unavoidable).
