A decision , by itself, change nothing

At the time a decision is made, no one knows if it is correct or not

For most decisions, we spend more time with the consequences of the decision than we do making it.

Therefore, it is fair to say that effective managers and leaders are those who are successful in managing the consequences of choice.
