• Sometimes thinking about the same problem from a different angle helps us arrive at a solution. This is called reframing the issue at hand. Changing the outlook can bring to light various issues that you had not thought of in the beginning. It is not wise on the part of a businessman to take decisions hastily as soon as a problem is presented before him. He has to step back, analyze from various viewpoints, discuss and then arrive at some solution. This can help in achieving a long-term solution for the problem, rather than some momentary decision.

• Decisions have to be based on evidence. Going by what others say or following one’s instinct is not an objective way of making decisions relating to a business. A similar situation that you have experienced previously may influence your decision but it need not be so. Your decision for the present situation should only be based on presently available evidence. Find out the data that can support your judgment for a particular course of action.
• You can get an opinion from other sources to help support your decision-making process. This can be from the employees of your organization or other outsiders who have business relationships with you. You can find out what their perspectives are. The employees of your organization help in sharing much important information.
• You should also have an eye for risk so that you can handle unexpected circumstances. Not in all situations you may take the right decision. You may also be making decisions based on past errors. But you should learn to correct any wrong decisions taken. Sometimes the situation forces you to make a decision based on evidence but later on happens to be wrong. Here you should be able to manage the risk that has arisen due to incorrect decisions. This preparedness is also part of decision-making.
