Leadership Tools: The Best Choice is the one you make, the one you commit to, and the one you learn from.

If you have involved a good team then reasonably debated the options and the choice is still not clear then the best decision is usually to just decide.  




Prioritize and Execute
You are simultaneously building a construction project, a construction company and a career in construction. There will always be more problems to solve and potential opportunities to explore than you have the resources for.
Observe, Hypothesize, and Experiment
Contractors would run much better, including improved field productivity, if they applied the simple lesson we all learned around middle-school science class: Stop debating and start experimenting.
