Drag, Defer, Dither and Delay, 4D’s of Decision making

Drag, Defer, Dither and Delay are the most effective approaches for Decision making for the following reasons:

• The problem solves by itself as sometimes circumstances change.
• Somebody else will decide and act. Pray that the decision fails miserably and your approach of 4D’s is vindicated.
• One becomes comfortably numb with the problem and learns to live with it. Over a period of time one does not even see the situation as a problem. Frog in the boiling water syndrome.
• The problem may become an opportunity as circumstances change. In China the word for crisis consists of two characters opportunity and danger.
