Energy Return System.
Modern sporting footwear includes an ‘energy return system’. The design and materials absorb the impact energy of the foot striking the ground, and then release some of this energy to aid in the next step, enhancing efficiency and reducing fatigue.
Good decision making has an energy return system.
Following a process improves feedback to inform the next decision - even if the result is not ideal.
A good decision making process can energise the decision maker in that it both cushions the impact of the decision outcome, conserving enthusiasm and motivation to apply the lessons to the next decision.
Every decision, no matter the outcome, contributes valuable insights that improve efficiency and effectiveness over time.
A good decision making process - like a good runner - has a rhythm.
Each decision propelling you to the next.
