subject: One Of The Most Important Tool In Your Arsenal [print this page] Everyone of us make decisions dailyEveryone of us make decisions daily. However, it is important to note that studies have shown that most people are not very good when it comes to decision making. This is often contrary to what they think.
One of the biggest skills to acquire is effective decision making. The best decisions in life are usually made slowly, ultimately, with dedication, and are unwavering. If you can learn to do this in a well-considered way, then you can lead in anything, to spectacular and well-deserved success.
By definition, a decision is behind every truly great achievement anyone ever makes. The most successful of people tend to make decisions quickly and, once made, seldom change them. They stick with the decisions they have made. Failures, on the other hand, are very slow to make any decision at all (most never make any), and they often change the ones they have made very rapidly indeed.
Decision making is a process of first diverging to explore the possibilities and then converging on a solution. The Latin root of the word decision means "to cut off from all alternatives". This is what you should do when you decide.
Now, I am not talking here about urgent patient decisions which, of course, is your best doctor skill. I am talking about those that are needed in order to deal with staff, operate an office, et cetera.
An issue that often comes up in consulting is a doctor's self-imposed pressure to decide on a new direction or change in practice.
Bad decisions get made when one is not rested or when feeling stressed or challenged. If you dither or make poor decisions, you risk failure, and your time will probably be brutally short.
Using a few effective simple techniques will help produce better decisions. This is why time away, travel, et cetera is so very critical to growing your practice! A thriving practice must be built in your mind first!
This may sound familiar, but take some time to do things that are totally different, happy, and fun this coming weekend. This will help your mind prepare for a lot of decision making.
You can go visit places that suits your taste in order to relax your mind. Some people prefer to go to the beach or any stress-free environment.
Meditate, unwind, and pamper yourself. The important thing is to focus on the relaxation of the mind, body, and soul, so you would be prepared make decisions on every task.
You will then be surprised that you have become a better decision maker!
