Your Decision Making

To SME Owners

Yes we make big and small decisions every day running our businesses, many are great, many are
poor.
Ask yourself HOW have you made, and make decisions, do you take time to gather every fact possible, or go with your gut.
Here is the trick, those decisions that involve big money, you need to fully understand the RISK LEVELS, but you still must move with SPEED.

I had a client that spent hour after hour for a week deciding on a poor performing staff member,
whether to fire or keep, staff members salary was R10k per month a light weight member of the team.

interesting,
