I recently experienced the "honeymoon phase" and the subsequent "post-honeymoon" phase in a new team and this reminded me of the natural phases a team goes through to become a high-performance unit. Bruce W Tuckman, American educational psychologist, identified the five phases a team goes through as
forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning.

Making decisions, especially major business and life decisions, can be stressful. Big decisions often go hand in hand with lengthy debates and lots of worrying.
As none of us knows what the future will hold, it is only possible to make a decision based on what we know at this point in time. So how do we make sure that we have considered everything before we decide?
