Fear-based decision-making will never deliver the desired results

Here is why:

When we make decisions based on fear, we are not thinking clearly. We are operating from a place of heightened emotion rather than logic.

This means that we are more likely to make impulsive decisions that we may later regret. This is relevant to both business and personal decision-making.

Fear can cloud our judgement and prevent us from seeing all available options. We may fixate on the one option that we think is the safest (or fastest) option rather than considering all of the possible outcomes.

Making decisions from a place of fear can also lead to us feeling anxious and stressed. This can have a negative impact on our physical health, as well as our mental state. It is important to be aware of these feelings so that we can take steps to address them.

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to make a decision, and you are feeling fear, it is important to take a step back, calm the nervous system and assess the situation objectively. Consider all possible outcomes, and decide based on what is best for you/team rather than what is safest or fastest. Making sound decisions based on logic and reason will always lead to better results.
