Have you heard about The Go Point? Within the pages of this book, you are taken inside the mind and the heart of leaders who have faced a critical moment of decision. From their unique perspective and their varied levels of experience, you are afforded the opportunity to observe and learn. The Go Point It’s obvious to anyone who is paying attention to the subject of leadership and decision making that it’s always preferable to make the best possible decisions for ourselves and on behalf of our team. Good decisions create good results. Good decisions create wealth. Good decisions create happiness. Good decisions create a great future. However, no matter how much one prepares, or how careful you are to be diligent Good decision making is both science and art. While there are definitely some helpful models and templates available by which one can strategically make decisions, it’s never full proof. Therefore, experience does count. Your ability to see past the issue that is presented to you and get down to the future impact of your present decision takes experience and discipline. On a personal note, I have learned over time that if I absolutely must make a decision on the spot, because time is in too limited of a supply, then, my answer is “No.” Why say no, you might ask? The reason for saying “no” is because the risk is too high to make a critical decision without the ability to gather the necessary information. In most cases, the risk will far outweigh the opportunity cost that may also be present by not acting at all. The Go Point does a fantastic job of pointing out the importance of experience, while also providing decision templates, based on principles and tools you can use right away. Today’s leaders need to read this book and to share it with their management team members to build and support a more disciplined and profitable organization. Learning how to make quality decisions regardless of the situation, is a skill all leaders should seek to develop. - Excerpt from The Go Point Mr. Useem takes his readers through the delicate subject of decision making by offering highly important chapters in The Go Point that include the following:
