Everyday I make decisions at work, it goes with the job. Some are big decisions - affecting the working lives of others and often ultimately people's lives outside of work (as whether people enjoy their jobs, or whether they have a job then touches those who are important to them). I make these decisions, they aren't all easy but they get made.
Why is it then that while I normally have no problems making decisions I've recently found myself "agonising" over a couple of decisions .. and initially not being able to see a way to make them. Is it because they have affected me, rather than me affecting others? Is is because they are "new decisions" where I have limited experience of what I am trying to decide? Is it because they are "big decisions" in terms of the impact (financially/emotionally) if my choice isn't right? Is it because there's no right or wrong, the choices are just different? Or am I just having an indecisive "phase"?
What makes some decisions harder to make than others? If innovation is about solving problems/improving things then once the ideas have been generated, decisions will need to be made ..... (and as we'll be working as a group with different starting points this could well be interesting .. or agonising!)
