Decisiveness

Decisiveness: Finalizing difficult decisions without hesitation

Confidence to make decisions + willingness to take risks = decisiveness

People with decisiveness are characterized by certainty, determination, and conclusiveness. They can decide quickly and effectively, and their decisions are purposeful and authoritative.

Decisiveness requires:

• Willingness to take risks – There are always risks in making decisions, but we must realize that indecision is ultimately a decision.
• Deciding to be decisive – Determining to be a decisive person and practicing it are essential steps for building the confidence to make important decisions.
• Deadlines – When a decision does not have a deadline, the wisest thing we can do is to give ourselves one.

“Indecision does more damage than failure.”  -Seth Czerepak
