I have always been been one to make quick decisions, both right and wrong. Fortunately I have made far more correct decisions than incorrect ones and my lack of hesitation kept me alive when it mattered most.

"When it comes to decisions and taking action be decisive once you take that step forward when it comes to any situation. May you always have a great positive attitude when you make decisive decisions; may you be decisive about taking care of yourself, and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Never do something halfway. Let decisiveness be your guide." - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good “Tuesday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader” from the high wispy cloudy skies of Greater Boston... I am working my Tuesday IT shift this morning and so will be more off than on RP today... So my response today may be shorter than my usual response... LOL! - “Decisive Day!” Why Not?
1) "Indecision and delays are the parents of failure." - George Canning
2) "The one word that makes a good manager - decisiveness." - Lee Iacocca
3) "Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all." - Brian Tracy
4) "Draw your line in the sand. Make your decision now and start taking action to really live your dream. By not taking bold steps to live your dream, not only are you missing out on fully living, but the world is missing out on the greatness you have to offer. Be bold!" - Les Brown
5) "There are many qualities of a great leader. Passion is one, empathy is another, listening is another, decisiveness is another. I think a great leader makes people feel comfortable, so that they feel that they're allowed to be stupid, they're not afraid to give their opinions." - Sherry Lansing
Anyone can be a leader... Well maybe that is not quite true... It takes skill, understanding, quick thinking...and more... If you want to be a leader...

Good morning Col Burroughs. I just sat and laughed at the opening quote and couldn't help picturing it here in the suburbs.
If you wait and dither very often the opportunity passes you by. I see it frequently that people wait until the decision is already made or the path chosen and then they speak up. By that time we've passed that exit or entrance ramp and we are on the road that someone else has chosen. You can mull over your decisions later and learn from them but better to make them early than complain about the destination too late.

Excellent advice this find "Tuesday" Morning Lt Col Charlie Brown and thanks for all the great quotes on being decisive. It's something a lot of individuals need to practice, including some of our leadership in this country. Have a great day and keep this in mind Charlie:
