Book Description

3 Feb 2013 0749466294 978-0749466299

Life presents us with a steady stream of decisions that we have to make. So, like it or not, we need to practice this skill every day - at work, at home, and in every aspect of our lives. Yet, we often make decisions without properly considering the context, options and implications of our actions. Or worse still, we end up managing the consequences of avoiding taking difficult decisions.

Decide sets out a clear and easy to follow model that will enable you to make or contribute to effective decisions, proving that it does not have to be a long drawn out process, as long as you use a mixture of rational and lateral thinking.

Free from business jargon, and filled with relevant case studies, Decide is a vital book for everyone whose life revolves around successful decision making. Thought-provoking and practical, it will help you always make the right decisions, and choose from your options wisely, whether you have 60 days, 60 minutes or just 60 seconds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buying was an easy decision 1 Mar 2013
Format:Paperback
We all have to make decisions in work and life, some feeling desperately more important than others (and all the harder to make). David Wethey's accessible and original take on decision making provides tips, advice and a decision making framework that will work for anyone, whatever the nature of their decision making process. Working on a unique premise of 60 second, 60 minute and 60 hour decision making times, David includes fascinating interviews and thoughts from a vast range of successful decision makers, all designed to help YOU become a better 'decider'. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awareness of decision making 7 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
Reading "Decide" last night with half an eye on the evening news, I suddenly became aware of how many items of national interest involved decisions.

It was announced by the Foreign Secretary that further help is to be given to the Syrian rebels in their fight against Assad's rule - a decision that will cause great concern in that it might later lead to military involvement of our troops, but on the other hand satisfying an underlying sense that we must do something to help now on humanitarian grounds alone. So, a hard one for the government to call even after a great deal of thought and consultation.

On a different scale, a Turkish referee had had to make an instantaneous and hugely unpopular decision during a game of football between Man United and Real Madrid which nearly brought the roof down on him. No time to ponder on this one.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals are in session in the Vatican, choosing a new Pope .....not a decision many would like to have to make in the light of current feelings about Catholic priests.

Thank goodness that most of us have only to make decisions on a much smaller and more personal scale and it is here that David Wethey's book could prove invaluable. It takes us through the processes in an immensely readable form, helping us to make tough choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars A generous book packed with rich information 14 May 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some business books are very thin but this book is generous with the information it provides and full of intense research and substance. Great references to outside work - e.g. Ellen MacArthur. There aren't many business books on this subject matter (apart from references to academia)so this is great and applicable to real life. Particularly useful is the section on using meetings in a more decisive way. Meetings can be the most frustrating part of decision making (because they seldom produce any decision whatsoever), but the best hope, because decision making is precisely what the meeting was designed to achieve. This book gives a clear and easy to follow model that enables you to make or contribute to effective decisions, proving that it does not have to be a long drawn out process, as long as you use a mixture of rational and lateral thinking.
