The Dao of Strategy: Making Decisions


In our world of multi-synchronous ebb and flow, some of us are operating in a grand setting that is
embedded with a balance of simplicity and complexity and aligned with multiple cycles of order and disorder.

How does one decide on the various situations that allows him or her to capitalizes on opportunities while mitigating risks.?

Instead of asking about what should a good decision be about, lets ask some unique questions regarding to the skills of making a decision:
  • Is your decision based on connecting the current objective to the big tangible picture?
  • What is in your big tangible picture?
  • How many variables can you hold in your head?
  • Do you have the process that enables you to make decisions?
  • Do you have the will to work through the process of making a decision?
  • Are you able to see the outcome of a decision in term of risk/rewards and risk/consequences?
  • Can you make decisions under extreme pressure?
  • Can you implement your decision effectively?
Retrospectively, how many of those skills do you possess?

Are those skills embedded in your conscious?

Remember that each implemented decision does not build your character. It reveals it.
