Stop Second-Guessing Your Decisions
Do
you find yourself revisiting every decision you make, agonizing over
whether it really was the right one? While everyone has doubts,
second-guessing yourself too often can affect your leadership— and the
perception of your leadership among other people. If you aren’t
initially feeling confident about a chosen path, don’t discount where
your intuition has led you. Try keeping a journal of recent decisions.
Hopefully, you’ll find that your intuition has led you in the right
direction over time and that even when you made mistakes, they were
easily corrected. Another powerful way to stop questioning a decision in
the moment is to make a plan to formally review it at a later date. It
could be in a few weeks, or a few months — whatever feels appropriate.
Add a reminder to your calendar and follow through.
