TRIPLE III TIME: Don’t Take Sides… TAKE FACTS!

Decision-making is in all areas of life… and has become more challenging than ever before.

Think about it.

With access to an ever-growing number of information sources, “experts” offering their views on issues online and twenty-four hour news broadcasts providing details on activities worldwide everyday… deciding on where you stand on any decision-making issue is now a unique, often uncertain process.  So how do we improve?

First, this TRIPLE III TIME message strongly recommends:  Don’t Take Sides… TAKE FACTS!  I believe trying to research and discover the most critical FACTS regarding your decision-making moment not only increases your independent vision on the issue… but also avoids someone “labeling” you as a follower of certain “sides”.  Also, keep it simple so everyone stays focused and not swayed with personal options (sides)!

Second, I am not suggesting that you employ the:  Don’t Take Sides…TAKE FACTS! process to the level of “fact-checking” what is being discussed or written about a certain challenge.  Rather, be sure to position yourself well during any significant decision making process so as the “debate” over the most correct action is taking place… you stand strong with real facts.  Finally during the debate/discussion moments be sure to listen and evaluate other’s concept contributions.  Is it easy to determine if their words are based on taking sides… or facts?

Thinking independently… keeping it simple… and listening with an evaluation mindset are all strategic decision-making assets when following a:  Don’t Take Sides…TAKE FACTS! professional position.  Those working with you will appreciate you… and your outcome actions will always be more progressively correct.
