做出重大商业决策的5个要诀 5 tips for making your next big business decision——NL3 Leadership in any capacity requires a laser-like focus, complete awareness of the problem set, and a willingness to “move the needle” when faced with uncertainty. Leaders must, at any point, be willing to make a split-second decision with potentially long-lasting and profound impacts. 任何岗位的领导者都必须像激光那样聚焦，充分认识问题，并且愿意在面临不确定性时“拨动指针”。在某些情况下，领导者必须在瞬间做出一项可能影响深远的决定。 The challenge, though, is that not every leader is willing to make such decisions for fear of it being considered “wrong.” They think that once a decision is made it is interminable and irreversible, and that adapting down the road isn’t an option or, even worse, they’ll be fired for being decisive. 但问题在于，并非每一位领导者都愿意做出这样的决定，因为他们担心自己的决定被视为“错误”。他们认为，一旦做出某项决定，它就不可逆转，无休无止。未来不可能再进行调整，或者更糟糕的是，他们会因为自己的一时决断而被公司解雇。 What’s wrong with this notion?

Playing to self-interest serves little purpose, and that’s not what a team or an organization is about. 军队中一直存在严格的工作优先顺序，所有决策均以此为基础。任务始终排在第一位，之后是符合团队利益的决定，最后才是与个人利益有关的决定。个人要放在最后，是因为在组织链中，个人永远是最小的环节。利己主义没有太大意义，在团队或组织中不应该考虑个人得失。 2. Wrong is never permanent 2. 错误绝非永恒不变 Well, “never” is a strong word, but you get the idea. I’ve said before thatfailure is only determined by where you choose to stop, and it also depends on how that particular problem is perceived. The higher one ascends within an organization . For example, the same problem that appears tricky at one level may not necessarily be the right one to solve for at another. Seek as ma
