If these managers see that you have taken control of the situation, they may decide to let you run with the alternatives, although probably with a watchful eye of those superiors.
#Bad decisions how to#
If the situation requires presenting your case to higher-level management, try to prepare alternatives on how to reverse the situation or reduce the impact. However, they can only help if you give them timely and complete information about it. In fact, you could be blowing the situation out of proportion, and they will know how to move beyond it. They may be able to shed some insight into the situation. It could be your boss, a colleague, or a mentor. But they will be even more upset if you don’t make it known in a timely fashion. Good communication is essential. You may not have seen this modeled by those above you……but it is the right thing to do.Ĭontinuing in the theme of good communication, don’t be afraid to talk to someone who may be able to help with the situation. They will be upset when a mistake costs the company capital.
Don’t try to ignore the problem thinking that management may not notice. If it is a business decision that costs your company some capital, be it financial or reputation, make sure you let your management know about it right away. Then, try to find ways to reduce the impact of your decision. However, if you were the one that was responsible for making the final decision, then the consequences of that decision rests with you. Their action may be the cause of the wrong decision, and you must choose if you need to address that person and the situation as a result. It’s possible you will have to deal with someone if they didn’t give you the right information or deceived you in some manner.
Take ownership of the decision and don’t pass the blame. Whatever the case, the result may turn into an unpleasant and stressful situation requiring correction and maybe making necessary amends. It’s possible you made a rash decision without giving much thought to the consequences of the decision. Perhaps, all the information you needed was not available at the time you made the decision. Or someone provided you the wrong data, whether intentionally or not. It’s going to happen. You try to do everything in your power to avoid these bad decisions. However, there will be occasions where you make a bad decision that has significant consequences. I certainly have. Hopefully, those decisions are minor and have little impact. People make too many decisions for them not to make bad decisions once-in-a-while. There is nobody on earth who can lay claim to never making a bad decision.
#Bad decisions professional#
Think about your professional responsibilities with investigations, audits, or whatever. Think about the number of cases you have, and the decisions related to each. Then in each one of those break down the number of interviews, document reviews and related responsibilities and how quickly the total number of decisions become astronomical. These decisions affect your results and certainly the ultimate success in what you accomplish here and across the board. We must be consistent and credible in the decisions we make. That consistency and credibility build confidence which is foundational for ongoing success. If that includes doing something stupid, it’s no problem: it’s our way to experience love.When it comes to the business of investigations, auditing, compliance, inspections and human resources, decisions are a consistent part or our work experience whether in the rank and file or in leadership positions. Honing the ability to make good ones is essential. Part of that is minimizing the bad ones, which is what we will examine now. There isn’t any cryptic meaning in the lyrics of Bad Decisions: the singer is happily in love and wants to enjoy it fully. We dedicate every day to it we impregnate every aspect of daily life with love. There are no longer valid rules what matters is only to give space to love. There’s bad meaning bad like bad meaning good Once again, it’s Snoop Dogg making it explicit in his last verse: Love is our priority, and we tend to forget all our other responsibilities or duties. In the first phase of love, nothing else is going on in our minds. I can’t seem to ever get you out of my mind I want you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, baby, every night Therefore, the chorus explains what will happen: he will start to make some bad decisions, for example, procrastinating things he needs to do, wasting entire days to spend more time with his girl. There is impatience, happiness, and desire, and Benny’s mind is completely immersed in love. ‘Cause I got you right here by my side (Oh, yeah) Judgment Day)Īnd I think I know the reason why (Oh, yeah)
