The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides.

—Henri-Frederic Amiel

You face hundreds of decisions daily, BusyCoach. Venti or grande? Recruit A or recruit B? Practice more or rest?

Though you may long for clarity before you pull the trigger, oftentimes you only have enough light on your path to see a step or two. For the hesitant, this results in “ready-aim-aim-aim-aim” outcome.

It’s likely that you’ll never get all the information you want before making most decisions, BusyCoach. Great leaders develop confidence in making the best decision possible with the information they have gathered. Do due diligence. Then pull the trigger.

What decisions have you hesitated making this week? How can you move forward?

*Excerpt from my latest book, Wisdom for the BusyCoach.
