Even the most experienced managers are faced with adversity when "big game" decisions need to be made! Using these THREE strategies will propel your decision making process!

Challenge your gut feeling, then TRUST IT! Good business and life decisions are not always made on first instincts! In fact, first instincts are not usually based on rational thoughts! Challenge your initial feeling and instinct, weigh the possible outcomes, test the waters, then TRUST IT! It is important to trust your decision if you have based it on a solid thought process!

Don't be Bias! It doesn't matter what you think...you ARE self-interested in this decision! DO NOT let your bias be the decision making factor! Take a step back...now take a deep breath...your business decision is always about you! Remember that when reviewing this step!

Involve others. "Big Game" decisions shouldn't be made in a 4x4 room with one chair!  Consult with others to get different opinions and criticism. Surround yourself with people that have expertise in the arena that you are looking to fill. This step will help you make a more informed decision!
