Making Great Decisions
John Ortberg, a very creative and insightful guy, gave a great talk recently titled The Secret to Making Great Decisions. I encourage you to listen to it, but here are some of John's tips to spark your Friday 3strands accountability:
- It's not what you do, it's who you become.
- Very often God's will for your life is "I want you to decide".
- We make terrible decisions when we are exhausted and/or afraid.
- The most important decisions we make are the ones we hardly even realize we are making... We make them without considering what type of person we want to be.
- The battle for wisdom is never over.
- Are you a decide-a-phobic? This is a person who avoids making important decisions.
I suggest that your process for making great decisions, and becoming the person you truly want to be, comes back to your 3strands:
- Is your Systematic Leadership giving you the ability to do what you do best and fully empowering your employees to take ownership for results?
- Are you making decisions based on a clearly defined vision of Meaningful Work - job activities that are personally fulfilling to you?
- How well are you balancing Sincere Gratitude for all that you have with all that you want?
It is Friday. ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!
- How are you doing on your 3strands this week?
- Is the work remaining to complete this week's 3strands scheduled in your calendar so you can work uninterrupted?
- Have you scheduled your Sanctuary time later today or over the weekend for personal accountability and focus?
Stay on track.
