Making good decisions reflects the right balance of intellect and emotion, head and heart.
- Ahead of time: analyze needs v. wants, alternatives and consequences
- Head: facts, objectives, practicalities, honesty, past experience
- Heart: opinions, personalities, beliefs, intuition, ego, feelings
- Decision: balances head and heart, practical and emotional
Does the result meet the needs? Is it a good fit? Have all options been explored? Has it been thought through? Are the consequences understood? Will it lead to the best outcome?
