In yesterday's lesson title How to Make Great Decisions, I shared with you two simple, four-word questions that can have a profound impact on your success rate in making basic everyday decisions. Today we are going to examine how former President Bill Clinton made critical decisions during his tenure as President of the United States.
如何做重大決定？關(guān)于這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我之前曾和大家一起分享過(guò)兩個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的四字問(wèn)題，對(duì)大家能成功作出基本日常決策有深遠(yuǎn)影響。今天我們將剖析美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)比爾·克林頓在任期內(nèi)做重大決定的方式方法。
I learned about his decision-making process at a leadership event for church leaders at Willow Creek Community Church. One of the guest speakers was former President Bill Clinton. As part of the interview, Pastor Bill Hybels asked President Clinton what was the hardest decision he had faced as President. He responded by saying, “Sending young men and women to war.”
在一次舉辦于柳溪社區(qū)教會(huì)的教會(huì)領(lǐng)袖會(huì)議上，前總統(tǒng)克林頓作為主講嘉賓出席了會(huì)議，我是那時(shí)候才對(duì)他的決策過(guò)程有了一些了解。作為訪談的一部分，牧師比爾·海博斯（Bill Hybels）問(wèn)克林頓在總統(tǒng)任期內(nèi)做過(guò)的最艱難的決定是什么，他回答道：“最艱難的決定是把年輕的戰(zhàn)士派往戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。”
Pastor Hybels’ next question was, “How did you make that type of decision?” President Clinton responded by describing a process of making decisions that I have used to make every major decision over the last 10 years. Here are the key points I took away from that interview.
接下來(lái)牧師問(wèn)道：“您是如何作這種決定的呢？”克林頓在回答中描述了決策過(guò)程，而過(guò)去十年來(lái)，我也是依照這一過(guò)程做出每一個(gè)重要決定。以下是我從訪談中提取出來(lái)的一些關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。
A President’s Process for Decision-making
一位總統(tǒng)的決策過(guò)程
Seek wise counsel—He brought together the highest-ranking, most valued members of his team, including those who had greatest insight into the situation.
1.找一個(gè)好顧問(wèn)——他把最好的，最有價(jià)值的人集中起來(lái)，包括對(duì)情況有著最深刻洞察力的那些人。
Understand the facts—With this group he thoroughly discussed the key facts of the situation so he would have a complete understanding of the challenge at hand.
2.搞清事實(shí)——他會(huì)和整個(gè)智囊團(tuán)一起全面商討事件的關(guān)鍵事實(shí)，所以他對(duì)面臨的挑戰(zhàn)了如指掌。
Discover all options—The team then brainstormed and listed every realistic option they could think of.
3.找出所有選擇——然后通過(guò)頭腦風(fēng)暴列出所有可能會(huì)考慮的選擇。
