Many times the most difficult decisions are not about money, but are about people. For instance, it can be particularly difficult to terminate or transfer an employee due concern that we are doing others harm or that we may be second-guessed by other authorities.
It can be tough making decisions that negatively affect others, contain a high level of risk, or reverse previous decisions.
Exceptional Leaders have the courage to make the decisions necessary to move their organizations forward.
