…robust
Just came across an article capturing comments from foreigners working in Thailand with Thai people.
They mentions that there are 10 working habits that hold them back from career advance, and one of those are "unable to make robust decision, and thus, they tend to react to problem rather than being proactive."
Indeed it would save time and prevent the spread of damage if one is to make robust decision that take into account noises and uncertainty, at least the problems are foreseen and some preventive measures could be in place.
What would make a manager get into a habit of using techniques and decision-making tools when he has to make decisions?
