Thirty years ago, Jerry Harvey, a professor at George Washington University told a true story about an incident that occurred when he and his wife visited his in-laws in Texas one summer. On a scorching August afternoon, they were enjoying a game of dominoes and cold lemonade on a shady porch when Professor Harvey’s father-in-law suggested that they drive to Abilene and have lunch in the cafeteria. Harvey later explained that he thought it was a crazy idea, but he didn’t want to spoil everyone’s fun, especially since his wife and mother-in-law wanted to go.

After arriving at the cafeteria, they ate a mediocre lunch before heading home. Exhausted, hot and unhappy with the experience, they gratefully crawled into the chairs that dotted the porch.

Does anything about that story sound familiar? Do decisions sometimes get made in your office (or at home) because you make assumptions about what you think other people want?

What kind of a decision maker are you? Have you taken corporate rabbit trails to Abilene? When you’re sitting in a meeting, do you fail to communicate your desires, your ideas, your beliefs? Do you make assumptions about what you think others want?

Here are 5 tips for developing your decision making skills:

• Gather as much information as you can. Too often we make decisions based on incomplete information. Take the time to really understand the problem or opportunity and be comfortable choosing from your options, or consider waiting.

Increased productivity - doing more without using more resources - provides higher real wages and lowers prices, improving standards of living.

Good management is required to pass down orders and instructions and obviously responsibility for the companies best interests. This means that responsibility needs to be delegated, therefore the responsibility of expenditure will be required and delegated down the organisation by management so that parts of the organisation, e.g. different sections within the organisation like the production section and the sales department, will need to function independently in order to meet the targets set by the company.
