Choices and decisions

 



The life is full of choices and they can be categorized in many ways. Starting as a baby until the first years a lot of decisions are intrinsic. Although most of them are also unconscious, depending on the external reactions, decisions can became very soon conscious.

Later on through social learning, there are a lot of unconscious decisions probably even more as you think of. In time of big data of customer behaviour, predicting customer decisions make them way more conscious even if the affected person might not realize this.

Self-reflection is a great way to clarify unconscious decisions. Why did you decide for on choice? What did you support? Who influenced me? When was the decision clear? Where is the place for the decision, is it outside during a walk? Which facts helped to decide? How did the decision affected me? 

Use this to prepare yourself for the next decision, making it easier and it strengthen you. No matter of that, everybody faces from time to time difficult decision. Having two or more choices and the decisions affects you to a larger extend, the most importent thing is to decide.

No decision is no solution. In my jobs I often faced that the result was no decision or a postponed decision. Both leads to delays and ends in a task shift. For sure, getting completely rid off that problem is nearly especially the larger a company is the more persons are affected and/or involved in decisions. Using retrospectives are a powerful instrument to identify and address these impediments.

Decisions are always correct. 

If somebody decide, it is always correct otherwise the person would haved decided for an other choice. This is essential to understand decisions which seems to be crazy, stupid, awful or whatever. Some decisions have been wrong in hindsight because you get additional information or have more or a different context. To understand somebodies decision, it is necessary to understand the person in the moment of the decision. 

Understanding other people is an essential part of working together on the job, especially in terms of motivation when making decisions. It helps to prepare the selection of options in such a way that there is little or no waste.
