Courageous Decision Making

“Be willing to make decisions.

That’s the most important

quality in a good leader.

Don’t fall victim to what I call the

ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome.

You must be willing to fire.”

– T. Boone Pickens

What is the

wisest thing

to do?

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever

course you decide upon, there is always someone

to tell you, you are wrong. There are always

difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that

your critics are right. To map out a course of action

and follow it to the end requires some of the same

courage which a soldier needs. Peace has its

victories, but it takes brave men to win them.”

“The Right to Lead”
