The most recent edition of the Harvard Business Journal explores the importance of a “decision audit.”

The authors, Michael Mankins and Paul Rogers, note that businesses are often reorganize in the effort to grow, but it rarely pays off. What businesses need to do is conduct a decision audit. Decide which big moves need to be made that will change everything and which small moves, made on a daily basis, will yield fundamental differences.

In business, the life of the church, and in our individual spiritual pilgrimages, the same principle applies — not just because it works, but because there are spiritual issues at stake.

Reorganization, fatalism, selling property, retrenchment, and endless conversations about how our lives and the lives of our communities are going to be different one of these days often have their roots in a lack of faith, rather than in sound decision-making.

To identify decisions that need to be made and to act on them requires courage and boldness; and in its most deeply spiritual form that kind of courage and boldness is an act of faith, not bravado.

God worries less about our failing, than about our failure to decide.
