Making decisions as you and your Leadership Team work “on” your business is a thoughtful process. And during that process, doubts most likely creep into your thinking periodically.
Doubts are those nagging feelings of uncertainty, where you may question a belief or hesitate to take action. Doubts generally make us uncomfortable. They leave us feeling anxious. After all, we’re entrepreneurs, leaders, managers – we’re supposed to be decisive and have all the answers at our fingertips. Right?
Well, maybe not. Consider this. Doubts arise because we are being thoughtful. We are contemplating the various paths that will solve a company issue. We are evaluating new ideas, opportunities, and customer requests to see if they fit our Core Focus™. We’re thinking about our priorities for the next quarter; determining which ones deserve our attention and focused effort as Rocks.
So the next time you realize doubts are part of your thought process, revel in them – don’t try to ignore them or set them aside. Each doubt has a purpose, and if you chew on them for a bit, they will show you the way to the best possible decision. Being thoughtful is a journey, and the journey never ends.
