Lack of autonomy- relying on other people's input as a basis for your own decision making is dependent whereas gathering input to broaden you knowledge base soyou can make your own choice is independent

Unclear purpose-not understanding the 'why'behind a decision is just like wasting time on it this is because you fail to consider relevant information

Ego- You fail to request or consider input from people in the know

Selecting the first option rather than exploring alternatives can also lead to wrong decision making nd should be avoided

Fear the worst-sometimes we make wrong decisions out of fear of making a mistake
