Decision making is one of the most important roles of a business leader. In Inc. magazine recently, Jeff Bezos discussed one-way door decisions vs. two-way door decisions.
One-way door decisions are decisions that are irreversible. Selling your business or quitting your job would be one-way door decisions.
Two-way door decisions are decisions that can be revisited or modified later.
When confronted with a difficult decision, first ask yourself, “Is this a one-way door or a two-way door decision?” Many two-way decisions could be answered by simply flipping a coin.
Proverbs 18:18 teaches, “Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart.”
Many people become frozen by fear thinking that a two-way decision is actually a one-way. Spending time on the irreversible decisions, not on the reversible is more fruitful.
