Leaders make decisions. They have to, and want to. Legacy-driven leaders base decisions on gathering facts and adhering to principle. Authentic decision-making settles for no alternatives that would short-circuit right methods.
     A leader's decisions define reality for followers (see Leadership Is an Art, Max Depree ). The leader who builds people balances relationships-decisions the leader makes about a follower's success-and function-tasks that prove the authenticity of the decision-equally, growing both.
     Great decision processes originate from, and must be evaluated against, the values upon which leader and follower agree. An investing leader seeks perspective born of truth and borne on values, and communicates it through decision processes and their implementations.
     Choose to lead well in your decision-making. Acquire facts, consider your people, and align with values. Better consequences result.
