Your Heart's Guidance

Decision making is management's product. Setting the course for the future, establishing goals along that path, allocating resources as necessary for each step, and evaluating progress against goals, all require clear and inspired vision. Most people try to avoid making decisions; a leader cannot.

When making decisions for oneself, the synthesis power of the heart is your greatest resource. Your mind takes things apart, examining a slice of reality at a time, but your heart operates with the whole reality, undivided. To examine an aspect of your situation, your mind is fully capable, but to understand your situation in its entirety so that you can make decisions appropriately, only your heart will serve.

The skill is how to communicate with your heart: sending it questions and receiving its answers. We teach a simple and very effective method for this communication so that you can rely upon your heart's guidance for daily decisions as well as make-or-break decisions.

When making decisions in a group, a similar process is used, but first each member of the decision-making team must identify with the heart of the organization, taking its interests as one's own. Then when each heart speaks, it speaks for the organization as a whole. The guidance of the hearts of the team are then coordinated and convergence occurs on the right decision, more wise than any one person could have derived.
