Zebras are one of the most decisive animals.
Everything is black or white. No grey areas.
Indecision leads to elevated levels of stress.
Why can’t humans be like Zebras?
Several things stop us humans from being decisive.
Each of them has a solution.
• Lacking effective decision-making skills
• Lack of confidence or lack of faith in oneself
• Insufficient or excessive information
• Conflict among group members
• Attempting to make a single, large decision that may, and most likely
should, be divided into several smaller decisions
• Responsibility level – you could hesitate to make a decision if it has an
impact on others and has repercussions.
• Fear of making a mistake or making the wrong decision
• Having a strong emotional attachment to a result that defies logic
• Conflict with our particular priorities or values
• Organisational or social restrictions
• Avoiding picking winners and losers
Which of these usually stops you from making any type of decision?
Which of these stops you the most from getting the outcomes you want?
