Deciders suffer alone; nondeciders make everyone else suffer
The Wall Street Journal yesterday had a great column by Jared Sandberg on the impact of people who cannot decide in the workplace (looks like access is free this week).
It goes without saying that the impact of indecision is bad – but what surprised me a little (ah…maybe not) is that it gets more frequently rewarded than decisions. How can that be? It is much harder to spot bad decisions than indecisions…
This problem is truly a bad one. In most surveys, indecision is listed as the top workplace tormentor. A recent survey mentioned in the article found that 3 out of the 6 obstacles to performing their job mentioned by employees were related to decision-making.
