Decision making: A guide for the indecisive

Sound like you? Making decisions can be a bit of a nightmare, especially if the outcome is important. One bad choice could change your life...

But effective decision making isn't just about being decisive. It's about being able to consider all options, balance many different factors, and reach the most satisfactory solution within a convenient time-frame.
