The Importance of a Clear Decision Making Framework and Long-Term Thinking
Having a clear decision-making framework for navigating change and a long-term business vision makes decision-making easier by providing core principles to filter decisions through. It allows for a longer-term strategic outlook, focusing on what the business wants to achieve in the next six months, a year, and even 10 to 20 years. This approach enables the business to make decisions aligned with a clear direction, integrating sabbatical rhythms and focused work cycles, and prioritizing longer-term strategies over urgent short-term needs. By continually revisiting goals and adjusting course as needed, this framework ensures staying on track while allowing for intentional exploration of new opportunities.
