The process to improve your decision making should start with being clear on your goals and your team’s and company’s goals. By aligning goals more carefully, you can cut down the time spent on a lot of decisions, reducing that feeling of being over-loaded.

One of the key methods to improve your decision making is to think about the impact of the decision you need to make before doing starting the core decision making process. This allows you to categorise the decision and the time you allocate to it. 

Another step to improve your decision making at work is to look at the downsides of each decision and remove those that have large downside from consideration.

When decision making in management, avoiding making key decision in a rush is vital. Make full use of the timeframes available by creating decision making space. 

Keeping an open mind during the decision making process in business is such an important tip and has been massively helpful to me over the years. 

Using data to check other people’s opinions during the decision making process helps remove others biases and preconceptions from clouding your own judgement. Understanding the situation clearly upon which you are making a decision gives you a better chance of making a good choice. 

Finally it is decision time. Making a decision is important. Procrastinating results in people being let down, opportunities missed or problems that get bigger. Don’t delay when you have got to the point where you can make a decision.
