You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time.

Most people are driven by the goals they want to achieve in life. Most of them also set the overall objectives that lead to their specific goals. At this particular point, they make use of the various skills and opportunities that come their way.


In that same category you find people who pursue different task at time, while others prefer to work progressively following one task or one objective at once. The reality that refers to these two categories of people, is that they both face challenges that are also different and therefore also affect them in a different way.

Although there are people granted with a multitask skill, we generally admit that the safest approach to use is to do one thing at a time to avoid irrepearable damages.



Making decision skill.


A decision is a choice between two or more alternative. It is one of the defining characteristics of leadership.Making decisions is what managers and leaders are paid to do. Everything starts with a decision making. Life itself is about making decisions.


The reality seems to be that most organizations are not overrun by good decision makers, yet alone great ones. When asked, people do not easily point to what they regard as great decisions. Stories of bad decisions and bad decision-making come much more readily to mind.

Some of that is due to our tendency to notice and recall exceptions against all the times things go as planned. For example, you have walked along side buildings more times than you could possibly count. Yet you remember vividly the one time you got nailed by a pigeon overhead.


That is how we are about bad decisions. We are also that way because the really bad ones tend to really hurt.

But the fact that we are hard-wired to make decisions does not by itself make us good decision-makers. That takes discipline: discipline to do at least four things all the time and well.

1. Realize when and why a decision is needed

2. Declare the decision: decide what the decision is, how will it be implemented, and who should be involved.

3. Work the decision: generate a complete set of alternatives, gather the necessary information to understand the possibilities and probabilities, and ultimately make a choice that best fits our values.

4. Commit resources and act.

People do get excited once they have an idea.Just like we do switch a light in a dark place, an idea get swithed on in our head and we get so excited about that single idea. We get along with that idea and are so pressed to implement it without always measuring its effects.


Although many, can admit that bad decision make great stories, adopting a more responsible attitude towards which type of ideas we must implement will spare us from a lot of damages. That is to say that, we must carefully weight the impact of our ideas before realizing them, and furthermore think of back up plan in case things did not successfully work out .
