Preface
As parents, we were shocked, when we came to realize that we had not taught our sons a process to make good decisions. Sure we had helped them navigate individual decisions and provided guidance, but we had not taught them a step-by-step process to make good decisions.
Our eighteen-year old son was struggling to decide which Jeep Wrangler to buy. He was spending days and days researching the internet. He wanted a Jeep that was reliable, fun and affordable. He asked, how do I make a good decision, will you help me?
He was fearsome of making the wrong
vehicle choice. Memories of a bad repair experience with a junker
pickup truck haunted him -- it broke down a lot.
This book is written for an individual or a family, as a tool to use in everyday situations, to make good
decisions. There are some very detailed books available which guide decision makers through structured decision making processes, but they are expensive, too detailed and technical for everyday decision making.
This is a guide, not a textbook. A simple process and helpful tips will guide you through the infinite number of decision making scenarios you will be faced with in life. You decide how to use and adapt this simple process. What makes this five step decision making process different? You can customize the process to your style and to a particular decision making scenario.
This guide does not guarantee that you will make good
decisions all the time. No decision making process is perfect, and the author has not always made good
decisions, but you can appreciate there is a need, when you are stewing over a tough decision, for a simple guide.
This book is for our sons, youth and everyone who needs guidance through life’s decisions.
Mentors are encouraged to use this book with young leaders, to help them gain confidence in their decision making ability.
