You're only as good as your last decision

What does your last decision say about you?

As a CEO, your ability to make decisions is key. So, thinking about your personal decision making style and skills is paramount to your success as a leader.

The last time you were faced with a decision, did you waffle, or procrastinate for fear of making the wrong one? Or, did you jump up and pound a stake in the ground prematurely, just for the sake of reaching a position?
