The shocking irony in this information-technology and space-shuttling age is a mediocrity culture deluding many people into considering excellence as a mirage, therefore something unattainable. Excellence is God-imparted, but mediocrity is man-acquired through a sin-virus infection that developed into full-blown Acquired Self-devaluation Syndrome (ASDS). STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING FOR EXCELLENCE is a 95-page book articulating Scripture-driven principles, so practicable that - irrespective of religious belief - they would motivate anyone into activating their gift of excellence, and would free anyone from the ASDS bondage. How? Through strategic decision-making. The principles are ten (10) and they deal with specific manifestations of the acquired self-devaluation syndrome as follows: Principle of Systematic Audit and Principle of Zero Wastage - godlessness, mediocrity and complacency. Principle of Endogenous Development - grasshopper mentality and rat-race mentality. Principle of Self-discovery and Principle of Positive-mindedness - negative attitude and self-confidence deficiency. Principle of Perseverance and Principle of Faith - procrastination, defeatism and dead-dog mentality. Principle of the Delegation of Authority - ignorance, burnout and over-spirituality. Principle of the Extra Mile - fear, self-resignation and weariness. Principle of Sound Investment -- poverty and unproductiveness.
