Process.
Good decision making objectifies the outcome.
It puts distance between the result and our self worth.
It builds a firewall between our process and whatever happens next.
The more that we see our decisions as an extension of our personalities the less we are able to let go.
Step Back.
Identify the Issue.
Assess the Information.
Check for Bias.
Give a Hearing.
Make the decision.
Watch what happens next.
Learn.
Repeat.
Do your job.
Get paid.
Go home.
