Stop The Decision, Re-Decision, & Worry Cycle!

I’ve talked to a lot of worried leaders this week! One thing they all have in common: the re-decision/worry cycle. You make a decision and then worry about how it will turn out, thereby infecting all those around you with negative energy. And then you wonder why it doesn’t go well. Clearly, you just didn’t worry enough!

OR…

“When once a decision is reached and execution is the order of the day, dismiss absolutely all responsibility and care about the outcome.” William James

Release yourself from ‘making’ something happen. Decide and let your people and systems do their thing. You worrying one iota won’t make something happen!

“Do your worrying after you place your bet, not after the wheel starts turning.” Maxwell Maltz

Know when to be concerned- before the decision- and when to let the plan play out. Do this and your people will thank you!
