Peter Drucker outlines 5 elements of an effective decision making process. The key elements of better decision making can help you rationalize problem, set boundaries around the solution, identify the right thing to do, identify the actions, and get feedback.
How To Choose Between Pattern-Based Leadership vs. Fact-Based Management
I found an interesting article about contextual decision making. It's "A Leader's Framework for Decision Making," an article in Harvard Business Review. The idea is about tailoring your decision making approach based on the context. You can use the Cynefin Framework to figure out which context you're operating in, so you can choose the most effective response. The five contexts are simple, complicated, complex, chaotic, and disorder. The key is to determine whether to categorize, analyze, probe or act.

While writing books for the past several years, I've learned a more effective approach for chunking up and solving problem spaces. Each new book is a new problem domain. I can't afford to churn or be inefficient while ramping up. I've basically learned how to get myself and my teams up to speed faster by using a process. This process has served me well. I hope it does the same for you.
