The top three traits of great decision makers are:  Know Yourself, Always asking the Right Questions and Trust Your Instinct.

1. Know Yourself

From time to time great decision makers perform a self-evaluation to determine what their strengths, weaknesses and biases are.  To make great decisions, you need to know yourself first to be certain you are confident in making the correct choice.

When you do not know yourself well enough, you tend to make more incorrect decisions.  Invest some time to understand who you are, what you stand for and what your core values are.  Once you have achieved this understanding, you will make your decisions with confidence.

2. Asking the Right Questions

Sometimes asking questions is the right answer.  Asking the right questions is a better answer.  It is difficult to take in so much information and not question or validate this data.

The challenging part is asking the difficult or specific questions to gain further knowledge to help make great decisions.  Be persistent and do not settle until you have all your questions answered with satisfaction.

For some this is a tough task and for those being asked it can be tough as well.  As a great decision maker, you need to ask all the right questions to make a sound decision.

3. Trust Your Instinct

Go with your first gut instinct.  Yes sometimes we are wrong and sometimes we second-guess ourselves.  For most of the time, our instinct is the right one.

When it feels right or when it does not feel right, you will know.  This natural ability will steer you into the correct course of action when seeking an answer.  Great decision makers trust their instinct.
