Trouble Taking Decisions? Relax!

You´re the boss of a midsize company, facing growth evolution and changes every year.

The current business structure shows the tasks and names of your staff but you´re the only one who is actively taking care of all potential choices?  Still, you´re the only decision maker?  And by now, it troubles you…. and also, your health starts to become instable.  Is that you?  Does this short scenario speak to you?

Relax!

For a moment –

It´s time to sit down and delegate some of your decision pressure.  If you´re ready today to let go of some responsibility of different decision results, make sure to hand over more responsibility to your staff.  This is the plan after you´ve discussed it with everyone, who agreed to your new offer:

• define the current tasks (by contract) to add more responsibility to their portfolio
• make sure it´s crystal clearly written down what they HAVE to do, what they NEED to do and what their next GOALS are to achieve
• define their goals by headlines and set up a decision process to follow:  add transparency
• let them know the moment you need to be involved and be available in those situations
• structure their process to follow on a step-by-step sheet to avoid misunderstandings
• delegate some of your current decisions to their new programs and tasks
• …… and now, RELAX

It´s probably time for you to work on the growth of your business again!  Start taking care of innovative ideas – soon you´re facing the year 2015 and by now the next goals are set.  Isn´t it time to work on the long-term goals again, for 2018 and 2020?  Relax and create a vision for 2020!  Who will be with you by then and who will take over relevant decisions which shape the routines and processes in 2020?

Like a writer, start thinking from the end and slowly go back – with the dots you want to connect – until you reach the present day.

BE A DECISION MAKER.  BECOME OUTSTANDING.
