The world is filled with decision makers. The ability to make decisions is touted as a skill and requirement to move ahead, to get things done, to lead others into movement and action. And no, it’s not the ability to make any decision that is celebrated. It’s those that can quickly and smartly evaluate the options in front of them, layer in expertise and insights and take action; set the course. We are praised for forward thinking, understanding the cause and effect of our choices and basing decisions on immediate return and mitigation of long term rework. It’s smart.

But what happens when there are more decisions, more forks in the road than road itself? Sometimes not making a decision is the best decision.
