Fully considered

It can be hard work coming to a decision.

All the arguments and doubt and evidence and hunches played out over weeks and months. The cul de sacs negotiated, the opinions canvased, the counter-indications countered. The advisor’s advice, the risk-averse’s risk aversion and Geronimo’s gung-ho-ness.

After it all … fully considered (even with a gut-full of nothing more than gut-instinct) … the decision.

Someone has to make it. That person is you. Your responsibility. Your decision.

And after that … pushing past the incumbents’ intransigence, the vested interests, the status quo comforts, the administrative inertia, the second-guessers, the think-againers … into action.

Make sure to listen, pay attention, deal with what you find but don’t be beaten back by the passive resistance of inaction, disagreement or alternative realities.

The only purpose of the decision maker it to make sure things happen after the decision. Get on with that.
