It causes hesitation at a time when action may be the best course to follow and it interferes with full commitment to whichever road you choose. At the same time, kneejerk decisiveness can be worse than uncertainty because ill-conceived decisions usually escalate today\u2019s complex crises. Uncertain or poorly thought-out decisions increase the crisis mentality that is waiting on the edge of your psyche when an opportunity mindset is needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more important to the successful resolution of a crisis than decision-making because your decisions dictate the direction that you go at every stage of a crisis. Yet, decision-making can end up being impacted by the frantic and chaotic nature of the crisis itself, which is no way to make decisions. Instead, the process should be structured and deliberate to arrive at the best possible decisions as you traverse a crisis. Without a clear and effective process, you may make some horrendous and potentially catastrophic decisions which may only deepen the severity of the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more, please listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drjimtaylor.com\/4.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Crisis-to-Opportunity-Episode-33-Blurry-to-20-20.mp3\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drjimtaylor.com\/4.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Crisis-to-Opportunity-Episode-34-Uncertain-to-Decisive.mp3\">Episode #34: Uncertain to Decisive<\/a>&nbsp;of my <em>Crisis to Opportunity<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode #34: Uncertain to Decisive\u00a0of my\u00a0Crisis to Opportunity\u00a0podcast is the second of four in which I will wrap up my podcast by exploring how to take everything you\u2019ve learned in this podcast and prepare you to take action that will help you positively confront and, hopefully, overcome the crisis you are faced with.
