Decisiveness
By Brenda B. Covert 		  
1     Decisiveness is a character trait that demonstrates one's ability to sort through information and make an informed choice. Those who are decisive cannot be called wishy-washy.

Someone who is decisive will not put words, actions, or choices off until later.
