Leaders who make sound decisions without delay are seen as decisive, courageous, insightful, and successful. A manager who stalls, who seems unable to make up his mind, who procrastinates and obsesses with the fear of making a mistake is seen not as a leader at all, but someone who is about to lead the team into disaster.  
 
 

Leadership requires sound decision making. Decisiveness, the ability to quickly analyze, decide and act, is a core skill that is mandatory for all successful leaders. And savvy leaders know these skills need to extend to their teams as well.

As a leader you have a critical role in leveraging the knowledge and experience that lives inside the heads of your team members. The way you and your people think about the various challenges and opportunities that confront you will have a direct impact on the quality of the results that you deliver. This critical thinking must happen at both the individual and the group level.

You need to be skilled in leading provocative and stimulating problem solving and decision making sessions in both situations. And when a tough call is needed, you must make the right decision quickly, with confidence.
