Answer to Question #287214 in Management for chuchu

Question

Juan Hernandez is a successful business owner. His landscaping business is growing, and a few months ago he decided to bring in somebody to manage his office operations since he had little time to keep on top of that activity. However, this individual can’t seem to make a decision without agonizing about it over and over and on and on.

What could Juan do to help this person become a better decision maker? 

Answer 1

Juan could give his office assistant a more complete picture of the tasks at hand for the day/week/month as well as timelines for each. It would force his decision to be made within a certain timeframe as well as give him a bigger-picture view of the workload. It would make him realize that there are many more tasks to accomplish.
