Analysis paralysis?
Let your boss help you get to a decision faster, and learn from their approach.
If you’re genuinely stuck with a decision and can’t get your head around which option to go for, ask your boss for their help.
- Just explaining your thought process out loud can help you come to a conclusion.
- Your boss will have a different perspective and experience - how have they approached similar decisions in the past?
- Ask you boss to help you explore your thought process by asking questions. Digging into what you’re thinking may help push you one way or the other.
