They know the priorities and don\u2019t let themselves get tangled up in agonizing thoughts about details. If you\u2019re an executive, you want others to see you this way. Decisiveness gives the impression of confidence. And confidence helps others have confidence in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an entrepreneur, professional or executive, you know that making decisions is a large part of your daily life. You signed up for this &#8211; making decisions, big and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what make it difficult for smart, driven executives to be fully decisive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indecisiveness is not just about decision fatigue or over-responsibility, although they may play a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s about your <a href=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/why-am-i-not-succeeding-4-steps-to-strengthen-your-executive-functioning-skills\/\">executive functioning<\/a> (EF) and how you\u2019re managing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make difficult decisions, you need great EF &#8211; the brain-based skills for goal-directed behaviour and everything that goes with it. By virtue of where you are in your career, your EF is already well developed. And yet, you\u2019d like to be more decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group single-article__cta--section has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"color:#2b2e34;background-color:#f5efea;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#2b2e34\">Become who you were always meant to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/contact\/i-help-you-grow-your-leadership\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#b65c45\">Yes, I\u2019m ready<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So what\u2019s going on when you feel stuck in indecisiveness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your particular brand of EF \u2013 your brain profile &#8211; may be highly comfortable with abstract thinking. Perhaps too comfortable. And that\u2019s what can take you into endless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allpsychologycareers.com\/neuropsychology\/decision-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ambivalence. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you noticed that when you can\u2019t land on a decision, there\u2019s a sense of not quite settling? If you\u2019re accustomed to thinking in the abstract, you may find it uncomfortable to land on a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>If you want to be muscularly decisive, look at your emotions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are they heightened? Triggered? If so, your EF will definitely go offline. You\u2019ll experience mental fog, poor focus, and rumination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you respond when you\u2019re triggered?&nbsp; Do you put your emotions aside? Do you tell yourself there\u2019s no time during the work day to deal with them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emotions don\u2019t go away just because you decided not to pay attention to them. They\u2019re still there, bubbling under the surface. If you try to think past the emotions, you won\u2019t be effective. EF functions best when the brain is calm and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But emotions are very useful too \u2013 when you choose to pay attention to them. They\u2019re a gold mine of information about risks, values, priorities and self-management. You need a balance of emotional information and facts to make a good decision. The most powerful leaders make decisions with a combination of intuition, past experience, emotional intelligence and cognitive flexibility. If you cut off these valuable data sets, the result will be indecisiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-1024x620.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-1024x620.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-300x182.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-768x465.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-1536x931.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-2048x1241.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-1320x800.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-Coaching-indecisiveness-600x364.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>So how do you become confidently decisive?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>1.
