“Nothing is more difficult,
and therefore more precious,
than to be able to decide.”

–Napoleon

In this one sentence, Napoleon captured both a timeless truth of leadership — that decisions trump all else — and a practical truth for those wanting to build a career.

Anytime something necessary is in high demand and short supply, it will take on disproportionate value. Decisive action is needed every hour of every day in the business world, yet all of us know bright, talented people who cannot take decisive action — and who never attain the success that their talents might suggest.

Listen to Napoleon, a great decider who used bold action to rewrite European history: cultivate your ability to decide.
