You will typically find me urging leaders to slow down and solicit input from their teams when making decisions. But that’s not my message today.

I'm not necessarily contradicting that advice, but I’m warning against the dangers of over-rotation in it.

Sometimes we get so focused on collecting more data and weighing perspectives that we can’t quite push beyond the analysis to make a final decision. This can feel extremely frustrating for a team. Yes, your team wants to be heard. And yes, they want to influence decisions. However, they also want to work for a leader who is confident enough to make the hard decisions needed to move the team forward.

If you struggle with analysis paralysis, this Two-Minute Tip is for you.

By the way, any time one of my tips involves my husband, I run it past him before posting. His response after previewing this one: “Glad I didn't move back." Me too…big time.
