Questions for Decision-Makers

Over the past years I have asked my colleagues many questions about decision-making. Their answers have been very helpful and revealing. Below I have listed the questions linked to their answers and organized them along the Decision-Maker's Path (TM).

A. Where are you coming from?
B. Where do you want to go with the issue?


C. What are you waiting for?
D. What are your wise ones generally advising?
E. How are the pros and cons of your issue balancing out?


F. What are the "Powers That Be" saying?


G. What is your real agenda?
H. What facts and reasons are you contending with?

I. What insights and oversights are emerging?

J. How are you going to tell your decision?

K. What are you willing to risk to gain what you can only hope for with your answer?


L. What is signaling you that the decision you discern is the right one?

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

John
