On my way to work this week, I listened to a radio programme on the subject of the farmers’ strike in Germany. A farmer explained that he had been ordered to enlarge the barn where his animals were bred. At the same time, however, he was not granted the necessary building permit to extend the building.

� How is that supposed to work? Something is wrong here.

Detached from the topic of animal breeding, this is nevertheless an understandable example of many patterns experienced in everyday life. Decisions are often made on the basis of an accountability-orientated justification.

➜ Unfortunately, what is all too often neglected are the potential consequences.

I see great potential here to save a lot of time, money and trouble if an extra loop is built into the decision-making process in order to scrutinise the possible consequences of the upcoming decision in an integrative manner.

 👍 A possible small adjustment or compromise measure can bring about real added value.

🎯 Overall, the idea is that the ability not only to make well-founded decisions, but also to manage and shape the consequences of these decisions, forms an integral part of comprehensive decision-making competence.

What are your experiences on the subject of decision-making skills?

I look forward to an exciting dialogue with you.

Best regards

Stephan
