| Welcome to December, Issue 273 and a continuation of learning on Effective Decision Making. If you missed the intro to this important topic, you can catch up here. Let’s consider the A and the L of the IDEAL Decision Making Model. Act with Intention : Make the decision and then support it with a clear implementation plan. Consider: What happens first? Who needs to know? What resources are required? What are the risks, and what are your contingency plans (Plan B, C…)? Acting with intention transforms a decision from an idea into meaningful action. Look Back and Learn : After the decision has been implemented, take time to reflect. This is the most commonly skipped step, yet it delivers the greatest long-term benefit. Ask: What worked well? What didn’t go as expected? What would I do differently next time? What lessons can I share with the team? This learning mindset builds decision-making confidence and continuously improves your future performance. You can recap on the benefit of leveraging feedback and revisit the Feedback Models we favour here at Your Excellency here. Stay tuned for the final “bit” of learning next week to round up your Decision Making learning! |
