As a hockey fan I find what you said really interesting basically because CO-CEO Jim Balsillie took the shotgun approach instead of the slow approach in trying to acquire and move the Phoenix Coyotes so I always assumed that's how he operated at RIM. So until I read what you wrote, I would never have thought Jim and RIM would take forever to make decisions--I always thought they didn't take enough time to think things through. What's very funny is everyone was saying, if only took his time, bought the team, and then slowly petitioned for a relocation he would have gotten it--but his decision making skills cost him his chance.
- forensic 15y agoGood decisions aren't a function of how much time you think about them. There is no correlation between the time taken for a decision and the quality of the decision. None.
- moheeb 15y agoYou are, in fact, wrong. In the case of waiting there is a correlation between the outcome and how long you spent thinking about it (leaving, aka not waiting). So in this case a good decision to wait would become more likely the longer it took to make.
- billybob 15y agoRight. That's why infomercials always say "here's our number, call whenever it's convenient." :) Clearly there is such a thing as taking too long, but "no correlation" is overstating it. Impulse decisions can be bad.
