Our thinking can only be as good as our information.
If we get bad information, we can’t make good decisions about it.
I have fallen for this before. An employee comes to me with a report about someone, and I stupidly take action on it – only to find out the employee didn’t have all the information, had an agenda, applied their ego to filter the information, or something else.
If we get a piece of information and act, before getting all the information or different perspectives, we are going to make a bad decision.
Not all information is relevant. Most is irrelevant. You have to identify what information is important, and what is MOST important.
The quality of your decisions can never be better than the quality of the information you gather and how you sort it.
Slow down. Ask more questions. Think about where to get more and better information.
