3 Flow-based Decision Making
“It was as if I had no real choice. It was not so much a decision about what I ‘ought’ to do—rather, I could not do otherwise. At this moment…one arrives at a point where freedom and destiny merge. It was at this point that my words became action.”
—Joseph Jaworski
How flow impacts decision making and the ability to lead is dependent on the individual’s level of confidence. Confidence is a function of training, experience, and preparation in the form of physical readiness, mental alignment, and spiritual connection. To accomplish this, the individual must be situationally aware at multiple levels. When all these aspects are in place, leadership happens—whether it is self-leadership or leadership of others.
