By: Edward J. Murphy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book is about Decision-Making. It's the revised and updated 2025 edition.

If you’re looking for the most actionable and proven best practices needed to consistently make the BEST decisions, this book is for you.

We created this series to give you the essential best practices and critical success skills needed to help you rise above the crowd, be the best at whatever you do, and stand out rather than just fit in.

However, before proceeding, it’s essential to note that this book is one of forty volumes that comprise a revolutionary new program called SUCCESS MADE SIMPLE.

The first ten volumes address these core competencies of your effectiveness and success in business:

Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training, Motivating, and Character-Building.

The second ten volumes address these critical business skills:

Writing, Speaking, Team Building, Managing Risk, Coaching, Managing Projects, Managing Meetings, Achieving Goals, Making Decisions, and Building Consensus with a Team.

This book will walk you through the cognitive process of selecting the BEST option, appropriate for the situation, among a set of competing options, after evaluating them against an established series of evaluative criteria.

It will also expose you to the Problem-Solving Process (PSP), which removes the emotions typically involved in making decisions based on impulse or emotion and justifying them later with logic.

Unfortunately, many people focus solely on solving the immediate problem, only to discover that their actions created several new and more serious problems.

They never attempted to identify the unresolved issues, unintended consequences, and second and third-order effects before taking action.

As a result, work had to be redone, money was spent that could not be recovered, and people were engaged only to be told later that their efforts were a waste.

This is what they call gaining experience. But there is a better way, which is why this book was created.

Here, you’ll learn how to use the most actionable tactics, techniques, and tools needed to master the Art of Decision-Making.

This program provides what you’ll need to rise above the crowd, excel at what you do, and stand out rather than just fit in.

I’m confident that by learning, using, and sharing what you’ll learn here, you’ll be well on your way to adding the greatest value to your team, making you essential.

Enjoy the book!

To your SUCCESS!
