Decision-making is a skill<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the video signpost, you learned how we, as people, make difficult decisions. But how does this translate in an organization where the objectives are not our own?\n<\/p>\n

Consider the following questions:\n<\/p>\n

  1. How much does your personal decision-making style affect the choices you make as a manager?\n<\/li>\n
  2. How can you avoid making bad decisions?\n<\/li>\n
  3. Is decision-making different when groups are involved?\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Read the following sections from the Principles of Management<\/a><\/b> book available from Saylor Academy<\/a><\/b>:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Read Section 11.3<\/a><\/b> of Chapter 11, to learn more about common decision-making mistakes and how to avoid them.\n<\/li>\n
    2. Read Section 11.5<\/a><\/b> of Chapter 11, to learn more about project premortems.\n<\/li>\n
    3. Read Section 11.4<\/a><\/b> of Chapter 11, to learn more about making decisions as a group.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
