Thank you. My two cents... An adequate decision in time beats the best decision which is late, every time! If your are late, especially due to analysis paralysis, it is irrelevant what you have decided. The clock has expired and your score does not count. This is especially true about decisions affecting your employees. Thank you for sharing your great insights. Drago Great post, as all of them Scott! Thank you. My two cents…

I liked the point that we all have our strengths and tend to want to make the world be in a way that plays to our strengths when in fact the world is going to play to our weaknesses otherwise we would have solved the problem already. Shifting from making the decisions to making sure good decisions get made place the leader in the positon of using his/her skills and the skills of the team. Good article.

You make a great point about leaders not learning new tricks. With a leadership operating environment that is changing faster than ever, leaders must be prepared to adapt. The strategies that brought success in the past may be the last plans to implement in the future. It is interesting to note that IBM did a study recently on the "DNA of an Adaptable Workforce." In the study they found that only 14% of companies feel very prepared to adapt to change! This is alarming if adaptability is such a critical capability for future success as I believe it is.
