#MicroblogMondays: Decisions, decisions...

Years ago, equally a "team building" thing, my immediate coworkers & I had our personalities analzyed in addition to categorized according to colour. People who are predominantly bluish are supposed to live born leaders. They dear taking accuse in addition to making decisions. Reds are analytical. Greens are pie-in-the-sky "wouldn't it live overnice if" idealists. Their forte is ideas, to a greater extent than in addition to then than execution. I forget what yellows were. Knowing what coloring nosotros were, in addition to the colours of our teammates, was supposed to brand us a stronger team. (Ideally, you'll withdraw keep a squad that's a practiced ease of all the colours.)

My results showed that I am strongly red. My grade on the "I taste making decisions" disputation (a classic bluish trait) was stone bottom. I tin & volition query all aspects of a discipline until the cows come upward abode (and dear doing it) -- but truly biting the bullet, taking responsibleness in addition to making a selection is, quite often, pure agony for me. I volition constantly wonder virtually the roads non taken, whether I did the correct thing -- and, if things don't go out well, I'll live kicking myself over it for a long, long fourth dimension to come. This is why I never became a manager, permit lonely CEO...!  (Knowing this, y'all tin imagine how much fun infertility handling was for me...!)

If I didn't know this virtually myself already, the by few weeks reconfirmed it. We're planning a footling autumn getaway amongst BIL & SIL, in addition to (since I'm retired in addition to withdraw keep fourth dimension on my hands & similar to create research), I was tasked amongst looking into places to stay, eat, see, etc.  I've been to our goal earlier & know the full general lay of the province in addition to highlights -- but the lastly fourth dimension I was in that location was good over 25 years ago! -- in addition to then I consulted the local tourism website in addition to move review sites similar TripAdvisor,  as good equally friends who alive inward the expanse or withdraw keep visited there, etc.  I sent SIL an electronic mail amongst thumbnail sketches of all the major hotels, including ballpark prices in addition to availability. I truly knew correct away where I would select to stay, if it was merely me & dh -- but making decisions that involve other people is merely about other thing entirely.

We went dorsum & forth a few times, spell the clock ticked in addition to hotel rooms started filling up.  I finally called upward SIL lastly night, outlined my "top three" hotel picks, my recommendation in addition to the reasons why -- in addition to thankfully, she agreed amongst me. Our rooms are similar a shot booked!

Now I merely withdraw keep to hold off until nosotros larn in that location to uncovering out whether I made the correct call...!  :p  ;)

How create y'all experience virtually having to brand decisions -- especially when they touching on other people?
