Top Motivational Speaker And Bestselling Author Rocky Romanella Describes The Importance Of Patience In Making Business Decisions

    WILMINGTON, NC, May 12, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It is said that patience is a virtue. However, in the fast-paced world of business, there is often a tendency to rush into decisions without thoroughly evaluating all the available information and considering the potential long-term consequences. That can be dangerous. Rushing into action without a comprehensive plan can often result in mistakes, oversights, and missed opportunities.

The relatively rare trait of patience, as applied to business decisions, allows business leaders to step back, take a deep breath, and approach decision-making with a much clearer and composed mindset. By taking the time to gather relevant data, analyze different options, and weigh the potential risks and rewards, this patient decision-making approach can lead to more informed choices that are aligned with the overall strategic objectives of the business.

Top motivational speaker and bestselling author Rocky Romanella addressed this issue in a recent newsletter. In that piece he said, "Patience is a virtue, but also an excellent Leadership Skill often misunderstood. Why does this 'belief that we need to make decisions quickly' happen more times than necessary? Because we use words like decisive, aggressive, action-oriented, focused as the power words to describe success. While these are important leadership skills and traits, we need to take a closer look and understand the role of patience in our skill set.

"One of the least understood characteristics of working together in an organization is the skill to know when there is a need for patience on the part of the leader, who is charged with the responsibility to make the final decision, even when there is pressure to 'make the decision.'

"Here is a common example. We often have key individuals, who we trust and respect their judgment with diametrically opposed points of view, which are well-thought-out points of view. As leaders, we are often asked to make the final decision. Often, this feels like a judicial session vs. a brainstorming session. This is when I believe patience becomes a strength and not a weakness. We can challenge each of them to "not stop at their first right answer," and to look past it, to see if there is a more inclusive answer that keeps everyone involved in the solution and takes us a step further. This only happens when we exercise patience in the process. In my experience, we often will get a third answer that will create the ultimate win, win, win and keep everyone involved."

Patience also helps in managing expectations, as it recognizes that certain goals and outcomes may take time to materialize. It allows for realistic timelines and provides the necessary space for businesses to cultivate and nurture relationships with stakeholders, customers, and employees, ensuring sustainable growth and success in the long run.

"Working together works because it is the opposite of the judicial process where we are picking winners and losers," Romanella continued. "It is all about conversation, research, being open-minded, and the desire to spark a broad-minded fresh start. Patience used wisely will lead you, your leaders, and your organization to become Broad-based Leaders who play a variety of leadership roles (for example, driving, delegating, supporting, empowering, collaborating, and coaching). This process inspires others to perform at their best and creates a climate that fosters personal investment, excellence, and teamwork. Through your patience and inclusion, it sets the tone and allows the pursuit of aggressive goals."
