Question
There has been considerable research conducted over many years into the process of decision-making. In this activity, we will look at some characteristics of effective decisions, which have been modified from the decision-making competencies originally developed by Janis and Leon Mann. Competencies for effective decision-making:
• Choice: Availability of alternatives and willingness to choose.
• Comprehension: Understanding of the process and pitfalls of decision-making.
• Creative problem solving: Creatively generating alternatives and alternative approaches to the decision-making process.
• Compromise: Facing practical realities to modify or accept less than the ideal.
• Consequentiality: Ability to think from actions to outcomes, expected and unexpected and from cause to effect to identify likely or possible outcomes.
• Correctness of choice: Based on the ability to obtain and process relevant information efficiently and logically as well as exercise balanced judgment.
• Credibility: Ability to assess the credibility/validity of information and sources.
• Consistency: Stability and reliability of the decision-making process with a consistent focus and effective decision criteria.
• Commitment: Commitment to the decision made and action follow up is vital but not blind commitment with failure to critically evaluate outcomes. Using your own words, briefly summarise what the above nine (9) Cs mean to you and suggest what you need to do as the team leader to make effective.
