		<description>Hi Michael. This is a great article as it highlights the importance of decision making as a skill. I think many people don&#039;t consider this as a &#039;skill&#039;. Effective decision making is, perhaps, in the top 3 ways leaders are measured by their stakeholders, peers and followers. (Maybe even number 1)

Decisions have to be good, and they have to stick. Leaders who blow in the wind and don&#039;t act on intentions haven&#039;t really made a decision, but followers beleive they have. 

I hope you don&#039;t mind me sharing this link where I discuss this: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.simonstapleton.com/wordpress/2008/07/13/is-the-road-to-hell-is-pathed-with-a-leaders-good-intentions&quot;&gt;Is the Road to Hell is Pathed With a Leaders Good Intentions?&lt;/a&gt;

Good Stuff!</description>
