I make decisions rather than letting circumstances decide for me.

I recognize indecision as a choice, usually the worst one.

I know which of my approval requirements add value and which add only friction.

I apply heavy deliberation only to consequential, irreversible decisions.

I decide reversible matters quickly and adjust as needed.

I have asked my team where they need my approval but shouldn't.

I have eliminated sign-offs of mine that never resulted in a 'no.'

I don't let the pursuit of certainty become an excuse for delay.

I preserve initiative by deciding within the window, not after it.

When I delay a decision, it is deliberate, not avoidance.
