The health and success of any organization depends on the ability of its leaders and managers to make sound, impactful, confident decisions. This program supports this critical skill by presenting a system to guide the decision-making process. Participants get a view of their current skills and preferences through the Decision Style Profile, a management assessment tool that provides guidance on how to choose the most effective and appropriate decision-making styles for given situations. The assessment evaluates the appropriateness with which respondents include others in the decision-making process and the extent to which respondents consider five critical decision factors in their decision process. A personalized report compares the participant’s chosen decision-making styles to the most appropriate styles.
