So, as my first post, I thought I’d contribute something meaningful, thoughtful, and very Chrispy.
So, after a few “run-ins” with my wage-payers, none of which were my fault, I have come to the conclusion that indecisive and finicky people should not be running a business. Moreover, I believe that indecision stems from laziness. It’s hard to put effort into something once the decision is made, so the best way to keep from doing the work is to not make a decision at all. Or keep delaying making the decision. However, this decision avoidance actually hurts a business in the long run. Think about it. If you’re the key person and you delay with making a decision, that means that no one else on your team can move forward. It also leaves the window of opportunity open for a competitor, backstabber, or stranger to take something that could have been rightfully yours. Keep in mind that we’re not talking about life-shattering, world-changing decisions. No one dies from the decision. It’s just a small decision that could have a large impact. That said, I think the dumbest decision is not making a decision, especially on things that will benefit you, your business, and your employees. But, as they say, common sense is not so common.
