Decisions

Decisions can have routine or serious consequences. At times, even small and seemingly inconsequential choices have major outcomes; events, unexpected reactions of others or unanticipated results happen. All decisions have consequences - not deciding is also a decision. Leadership requires decision-making that moves beyond personal issues to determining the operation and results of organizations and the lives of others.
