Strong leaders make good decisions for their teams — All the Way Leadership Blog

Think about a strong leader you know. Ask yourself a question. Did she make good decisions for your team? The answer is yes. Strong leaders do. Now think about a weak leader. Someone you did not enjoy following. Ask yourself the same question. Did he make good decisions for his team? Your answer probably changed to no. It is difficult to follow someone who makes poor choices.

Making decisions is a constant leadership challenge

All leaders make decisions. It is a harsh reality that leaders face. The decisions you make range from big strategic ones to smaller tactical ones. Some are easy, many are tough. Several may be simple while others are complex. The best leaders I worked for made good decisions of all types on a regular basis. Sure — you can delay, or avoid making choices. Weak leaders use this approach putting the destiny of their team into the hands of others. Don’t be that kind of leader. Be a strong leader who knows how to make good decisions.
