Use Defined Processes to make decisions
Make a T chart listing the pros and cons of each alternative.
Set a time limit for fact finding. Lack of information should not paralyze you from decision making.
Keep your organizations mission nearby and refer to it when making the decision.

Lesson 14: Monitor the implementation of a Plan
How do I do effective monitoring currently?
Ask co-workers what is working and what is not working
"In the absence of clearly defined goals we become strangely loyal to performing acts of trivia"
Focus on outcome based goals stated as "How will I know I've succeeded...." instead of activity based goals stated as (perform, improve, train, or install).
Effective goals are SMART -- specific, measurable, aggressive, relevant, and time-bound
Goals should excite as well as reward
