the act or process of deciding something especially with a group of people
In its simplest sense, decision-making is the act of choosing between two or more courses of action.
“On an important decision one rarely has 100% of the information needed for a good decision no matter how much one spends or how long one waits. And, if one waits too long, he has a different problem and has to start all over. This is the terrible dilemma of the hesitant decision maker.” ― Robert K. Greenleaf
Making decisions can be difficult, but it is an important part of life. It is important to take your time when making decisions and to make sure to consider all of your options. Here are some tips for making smart decisions:
- Make a list of pros and cons for each option
