Seven Daily Decisions

The next book is for senior leaders, and I spend a lot of time being very directive as opposed to my usual approach of "describe the situation and let them decide what they feel is best."

Throughout the book, I'm littering these lists of seven. Why seven? I'm glad you asked because I won't be answering this question in the book. It's a boring answer: "Seven. More than three. Less than ten. The end." Seven creates enough space to make a compelling list of things, but it's short enough to create a constraint — which seven really matter here?

My number one concern about listing these seven decisions is that I left out an obviously important decision type. In fact, I am sure I did, but I decided to hit publish.
