If easy questions make it to your desk then something is wrong with the organization that prevents people from addressing the obvious choices.<br /><br />In many cases these decisions are not critical. If one choice was clearly better then it would not be an ambiguous choice. Therefore, don't get paralyzed trying to make the perfect decision in every case. Sometimes the best course is pick a course and move forward.<br /><br />An interesting paradox of leadership: you get the hard questions where the decision is less important than the example you set in making it. Setting the vision for the organization and making sure everyone is tracking towards that vision are more likely to be critical than these ambiguous decisions.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884227668073367079noreply@blogger.com
