Because of the large number of decisions we all have to make in life, it is advisable to adopt a simple problem solving scheme:
Define the problem that we need to decide upon. It may sound redundant. The Leader must first of all decide what he wants to decide upon. Decisions always spell change. Our decisions will always introduce us into different directions. Thus, we have to know what we want. Nothing will be accomplished what we want.
Get rid of preconceived ideas concerning the problem. It is important that we have a clear picture in our minds about the problem we are facing or the situation we wish to change regardless of how we presently feel about it.
Gather correct and complete information pertinent to the problem. Every solution reached has to be based upon reality. If we are determined to make an effective solution, we have to search for the reasons that will prevent us from making good solutions.
