"Wisdom is the ability, developed through experience, internal reflection, and insight, to discern what is true and to exercise good judgment, which are the keys to greater effectiveness and success."

Al Garrotto

TNG announces a new program with Al Garrotto and Ray Newkirk. Alfred J. Garrotto is a published writer, entrepreneur, speaker, and team coach. He works with men and women at all management levels and stations of life to improve their most critical decision-making capabilities. Through this program, clients will achieve new levels of success as they grow in personal and professional wisdom.

Experience reveals that rarely is the failure of an enterprise the result of poor management and technical skills. The deeper roots of failure is found in the lack of personal wisdom which often leads to poor decision making. Mr. Garrotto’s “Management Wisdom Program” uncovers each manager's own personal “hidden” wisdom and that of his or her own management team.

Top-level business decisions involve the investment of many millions of dollars. The stakes may be the company’s success or failure. Making wise decisions is essential for long-term success. Unfortunately, many decision makers have never learned the art of making wise decisions. Instead, they rely on habit or yesterday’s best information, hoping either to get lucky or at least not make too many critical mistakes along the way. Did you know that the wisest decisions result from allowing your inner wisdom to serve as your compass? This program will enable you to leverage your inner wisdom for more substantial management success in decision making and beyond to touch every life endeavor.

 

Making Wise Decisions: A Step-by-Step Process

 

Mr. Garrotto advocates a 9-Step Process for making wise decisions.  He reminds decision-makers to: (1) look at history; (2) get the most current facts;(3) run the numbers; (4) get the most informed advice possible; (5) listen. listen, & listen; (6) honor your instinct (vision); (7) do a community check; Then...(8) make the most enlightened decision possible at that point in time, and finally - and very important (and often neglected)...(9) be open to evaluating new data.   

  

 

Mr. Garrotto’s “Management Wisdom Program” will enable you to become a more effective problem solver and decision maker—and more successful in every life endeavor.
