In my opinion when you “take” a decision it is actually something decided by somebody else and you just take it. Soldiers take orders, I take a banana, I take time...

Make a decision is when I make it, nobody else can “make it” for me. So I will “take” advice from anybody but “make” my decision.


Leaders make decisions , followers take them from them and run with them!
