Indecision is a cancer in American business.  We have contact with individuals and organizations that appear to be caught in a malaise of indecision.  When questioned as to why this malaise exist, fear of making a mistake and the lack of decisiveness at levels above the individual are the reasons that are most often given.  The perceived need to “run it by Rizzo, or bounce it by Boomer” is negatively affecting how organizations make decisions and is in many cases are costing those organizations dearly in employee trust and morale, as well as financial results.  Organizations tend to rush to get things done up to a point and then the malaise and resulting stall begins.  We often see this with organizations who fail to schedule activities 14 days in advance, allowing them to take advantage of airline discounts when bringing people in from out-of-town.  It has become acceptable not to make timely decisions while paying 40% to 75% more in airfares and accommodations.
