在做決策前，先想好你預備如何推廣你的決策

當你的決策會影響到許多人的時候，你最好先想好幾套可以強化你的公司的價值的說法，也就是說你預備要如何得到別人對你的決策作出承諾支持。但是，你如何知道哪一種說法最好？

試試做個心理測試作業：想象自己在做一場演說，聽眾包含了好幾組會受到你的決策影響的人。將你預備告訴他們的幾套說法都演練過，你每套說法要怎麼說？你要如何說服他們？

有哪些根據可以支持你的說法？哪些說法會聽起來空洞，會引起人們抗拒？如何能夠讓人微笑點頭？也就是說，哪一種說法可以讓人們願意採取行動？

把這些說服他人的作法先想好，會幫助你擬定出更好的決策。

Before making a decision, think about how you plan to promote your decision

When your decisions affect a lot of people, it’s better to think of a couple of statements that reinforce the value of your company, that is, how you’re going to get someone else’s commitment to your decision. But how do you know which one is best?

Try a mental test assignment: imagine yourself giving a speech, and the audience includes several groups of people who will be influenced by your decisions. Practice the several statements you are going to tell them. How do you say each? How do you convince them?

What is the basis for your statements? What would sound hollow and cause people to resist? How to make people smile and nod? In other words, what kind of statement can make people willing to take action?

Thinking about these persuasive practices will help you make better decisions.
