The 3 R's of Decision Making

From the guru of leadership, John Maxwell, I'd like to share his advice for decision making, which he calls "The 3 R's of Decision Making".

Below excerpt reproduced from http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/2010/08/17/the-3-rs-of-decision-making/

Before any decision on where to invest my time, this is what I ask myself:

1. What is REQUIRED of me? Any realistic assessment of priorities in any area of life must start with a realistic assessment of what you must do. For you to be a good spouse or parent, what is required of you? To satisfy your employer, what must you do? If you lead others, then what must you personally do that cannot be delegated to anyone else?
2. What gives me the greatest RETURN? As you progress in your career, you begin to discover that some activities yield a much higher return for the effort than others. After determining requirements, focus on choices with a high return on investment (ROI).
3. What gives me the greatest REWARD? If you do only what you must, along with what is effective, then you will probably be highly productive. But you may not be content. I think it’s also important to consider what gives you personal satisfaction.
