Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: One qualitythat a successful leader must have is to make decision quickly; when a leadertakes too much time to make decisions, he will be seen as ineffective to thepeople he lead. 2014. 8.22 NA
Of all the skills that build a leader to greatsuccess, such as confidence, tenacity and keen insight, the ability to makewise decisions has always been regarded as an indispensable quality. Whilethere are circumstances in which the excellence is determined by how quicklythe leader makes decisions, I do believe that for most of times, taking time tomake decisions will not be seen as ineffective since good judgments alwaysrequired deliberation and full-scale evaluation.
Indeed, in few cases a successful leader must make decisions quicklyin response to the ever- changing outside environment. Especially in thecommercial industry, a top-notch leader ought to capture the most transienteconomic opportunities before its rivals in order to dominate the market. Forinstance, the social media in China was not well developed five years ago. Myuncle, who was the CEO of a computer software company, keenly realized thegreat potentials of the development of social media and shifted the company’sfocus to this area before any other competitors. As a result, the first SNSnetwork, developed by his company, won tremendous success; his company nowranks top 10 in the nation.
