Creating a Common Goal for any Conversation
First impressions often make the difference in getting the job or getting the sale. Similarly the first few seconds of an important conversation set the tone for how the rest of the conversation is going to proceed and very often has a significant impact on the outcome. Knowing the most effective way to begin important conversations, at home, in business or in a civic setting, is critical to your success. We believe there are three critical elements that must be present to be a truly effective opening statement – your confidence, an invitation to neutral and an acknowledgment of the listener as the decision-maker. Let’s take a closer look at each element.

Closing for a Commitment or Settling for an Agreement?
There comes a time when all your hard work and preparation come together, and the time is right to go for closure! This is the moment you go for commitment. In business, whenever people interact, they make decisions ― a decision to talk, a decision to listen, a decision to act on a recommendation. Ideally, as a leader you want your followers to make decisions that are both well-informed and high in confidence. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the higher your followers are in confidence when they reach a final decision, the more effort and quality they will put into carrying through that decision.

Making a Logical Bid or No-Bid Decision
The decision to bid on a contract has profound implications on reputation, profitability, and the allocation of scarce resources. In many cases, these critical decisions are made following an informal assessment, resulting in low-margin or resource-intensive work being performed with associated large opportunity costs. Implementing a formalized decision-making process will help ensure that key considerations have not been ignored.

Why Do We Need More “Whys” in Corporate Strategic Planning?
A simple question, yet powerfully thought-provoking, “Why?” is too often missing from our decision-making vocabulary. Why, what if, and other forms of critical evaluation contribute to a more effective decision-making process by promoting debate and discussion that is necessary to achieve the best possible outcome.
