Black and White Decision Making? Today, Change to Grey (and Vice Versa)

Black and White Decision Making? Today, Change to Grey (and Vice Versa): "

For today, change your decision making strategy.

Do you usually gather facts, deliberate, look at all angles, think about it some more, and then reach a qualified point of view? Then for today, make quick yes or no decisions on questions you face.

On the other hand, do you see everything as black and white, making decisions with no hesitation? If so, step back today, solicit other perspectives, think a while, and then decide a course of action.

The benefit, irrespective of whether you see the world as black and white or grey, is you’ll get a sense of the other side’s decision making strategy. You will be able to see previously hidden benefits in a different decision making style. You can reveal new creative and innovative options that wouldn’t have surfaced with your typical decision making style.

And best of all, you can go right back to your more comfortable decision making strategy tomorrow. – Mike Brown
