Decisiveness

Herding Cats Quote of the Day:

If I had to sum up in a word what makes a good manager, I’d say decisiveness. You can use the fanciest computers to gather the numbers, but in the end you have to set a timetable and act.

—Lido Anthony (Lee) Iacocca

Fight as if you are right, listen as if you are wrong

Bob Sutton believes you should “Learn how to fight as if you are right and listen as if you are wrong: It helps you develop strong opinions that are weakly held.”

This seems to me to be good advise, and one that I’m going to work on. Apparently he has a whole book written about this type of thing.
