1 Seek Feedback

If self-reflection isn't yielding results, seeking feedback from others can provide fresh perspectives. Engage with trusted friends, mentors, or colleagues who can offer constructive criticism and insights into your decision-making process. This external input can highlight blind spots and introduce new ways of thinking that self-reflection alone may not reveal. Embrace this feedback with an open mind and consider how you can integrate it into your approach to making decisions.

One incident that sticks out is when I tried to promote an employee to a higher position. I thought she'd jump at the chance for a better job and more money. But she surprised me by turning it down, saying she preferred her current role for its work-life balance. It made me realize how wrong assumptions can mess things up and how important it is to get feedback from different people. It emphasized the necessity of a collaborative approach involving Human Resources, the team, and experienced executives to gain diverse perspectives and insights. It became evident that only some seek career progression or financial incentives.

Seek Feedback: Ask others for their perspective on your decision-making process. They may offer valuable insights that you haven't considered. Learn from Others: Find mentors or role models who are skilled decision-makers. Observe their decision-making process and learn from it. Practice: Put yourself in situations where you have to make decisions and learn from the outcomes. Take a Course: Consider taking a course or workshop on decision-making. Use Decision-Making Tools: Many tools and techniques can help with decision-making, such as decision trees, SWOT analysis, and cost-benefit analysis. Seek Professional Help: If you're struggling with decision-making, consider seeking help from a professional, such as a coach or therapist.

2 Learn Models

Learning formal decision-making models can offer structured approaches that self-reflection lacks. Familiarize yourself with frameworks like SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis or the Decision Matrix. These models can help you systematically evaluate options and consequences, leading to more informed choices. By applying these tools, you can add rigor to your decision-making process and potentially uncover options you hadn't considered.

3 Practice Scenarios

Practicing with hypothetical scenarios can hone your decision-making skills in a low-risk environment. Create or find case studies relevant to your field or interests and work through the decision-making process. This practice allows you to apply theoretical knowledge and receive immediate feedback on the outcomes of your decisions. Over time, this method can build your confidence and improve your ability to make sound decisions in real-life situations.

4 Record Decisions

Maintaining a decision journal can be an effective way to track and learn from your choices. Write down the decisions you make, the reasoning behind them, and the outcomes they lead to. Reviewing this record over time can reveal patterns in your decision-making and help you understand the consequences of your actions. This practice can foster a deeper level of insight than self-reflection alone, as it relies on tangible data.

5 Embrace Uncertainty

Embracing the inherent uncertainty in decision-making is crucial. Recognize that not all decisions will lead to the desired outcome, and that's okay. Learning to be comfortable with uncertainty can reduce the pressure and fear of making 'perfect' decisions. This mindset shift can open you up to taking calculated risks and learning from the outcomes, which is a valuable part of developing your decision-making skills.

There is no such thing as the perfect decision and the perfect time and the number thing that stops people from moving forward is fear. Fear of failure, others opinions and fear of the unknown. Treat each decision as an experiment and an opportunity to learn more about yourself. This means focusing on the next step forward not the one in 10 steps time.

6 Expand Knowledge

Expanding your knowledge base can indirectly improve your decision-making skills. Dive into new subjects, read broadly, and seek experiences outside of your comfort zone. The more you know about the world, the better equipped you'll be to make informed decisions. Continuous learning not only enriches your perspective but also provides a solid foundation for making choices that align with your goals and values.

This hack works, and it's fun! 1. Write down several strengths you would like to have or admire in others. 2. Invent a character with those characteristics and give them a name, for example, Mike. 3. Think about what that character would do in your place. I have colleagues who swear by it; they say things like, "I'm not comfortable speaking in that board meeting, but I know Mike is, so today I'll stay home and let Mike attend that meeting."
