 Questions For You to Reflect

IMPORTANCE
OF MAKING
DECISION

9
 1.It save time and make better use of
resources
◎ A lack of process clarity guarantees a
slower path to the desired outcome. If
you step logically through a proven
process, you will waste less
time and make use of the right
resources at the right time.

10
 2.All employees will be able
to contribute more effectively
◎ There is a proven process called SBAR -
Situation, Background, Assessment,
Recommendation. Because it is widely known
and understood, it creates what I call shared
process clarity and gets everyone on the same
page quickly, knowing what to expect and how to
contribute. By focusing on each clear step one at
a time, clarity of purpose is also achieved.
11
◎ 3.People will accomplish more
faster.
◎ When you know exactly what
you are trying to achieve, you
can do it faster. Speed comes
from greater clarity of purpose
and process.
12
 4.Commitment will be stronger.
◎ Employees are most committed when
they believe decisions are made using a
logical, informed, and fair process with their
interests represented. If employees believe the
people and process were careful and thorough,
they will support decisions even when the
decisions turn out to be stupid.

13
5.Employee satisfaction and engagement
will improve.
◎ Employee satisfaction and engagement
hinge on how easily and effectively
employees can contribute and whether the
organization operates in such a way that
commitment is created . Since how you make
decisions directly affects both of those, it will
also affect employee satisfaction and
engagement.
14
6. Employees will be able to let go and focus.

◎ When you don't trust that the people around you

are making smart decisions, it is natural to want
to be involved so you can try to help prevent
disaster or at least will see it coming and avoid a
nasty surprise. This is human nature. At the same
time, everyone has too much to do. By creating
clarity of purpose, process, and roles, people learn
to trust the system and let go. Once that happens,
they can get back to their top priorities and amp up
their ability to focus.
15
 7.Delegation will be easier and more
effective.

◎ One of the biggest problems with

delegation is that delegating
almost anything includes delegating
decisions. If all parties have shared process
clarity about the steps of making decisions,
it is a cinch to delegate a task and arrange
for check-ins at appropriate steps.
16
8.People will make fewer mistakes.

◎ Messy decision processes create plenty of

room for errors and misunderstandings.
Messy decision processes rarely have crystal
clear endings, especially because messy
processes often lead to re-decision the next
day. The messier a process, the easier it is
for someone to walk out of the room with the
wrong message.
17

 Step 1: Identify the
Steps decision
.
of Decision Try to clearly define the
Making nature of the decision
you must make. This
Process
first step is very
important.
19
 Step 2: Gather relevant information
Collect some pertinent information before you
make your decision: what information is needed,
the best sources of information, and how to get it.
This step involves both internal and external
“work.” Some information is internal: you’ll seek it
through a process of self-assessment. Other
information is external: you’ll find it online, in books,
from other people, and from other sources
20
Step 3: Identify the alternatives
As you collect information, you will
probably identify several possible paths
of action, or alternatives. You can also
use your imagination and additional
information to construct new
alternatives. In this step, you will list all
possible and desirable alternatives
21
 Step 4: Weigh the evidence
Draw on your information and
emotions to imagine what it would be
like if you carried out each of the
alternatives to the end. Evaluate the
alternatives and place them in a priority
order, based upon your own value
system.

22
Step 5: Choose among alternatives
Once you have weighed all
the evidence, you are ready to
select the alternative that seems
to be best one for you. You may
even choose a combination of
alternatives..
23
 Step 6: Take action
You’re now ready to take
some positive action by
beginning to implement the
alternative you chose in
Step 5.
24
Step 7: Review your decision & its consequences
In this final step, consider the results of your
decision and evaluate whether or not it has
resolved the need you identified in Step 1. If the
decision has not met the identified need, you may
want to repeat certain steps of the process to make
a new decision. For example, you might want to
gather more detailed or somewhat different
information or explore additional alternatives.

The three most important criteria
for good decision making

◎ 1. Values-What you value

determines your behavior. Your
beliefs produce attitudes, attitudes
produce feelings and feelings lead
to behavior

27
 .
2.Experience– We all learn to make decisions
through experience. Time will tell if a decision is
good or bad.
3. Common sense- Common sense, or what you
know, is a key component in choosing one path
versus another. Use what you know to help you
make the best decision.

28
◎ If you are not working to where you want to be, you
are AUTOMATICALLY working to where you don’t
want to be.”

◎ “Keep your most important values in mind at all

times when you are making LESS important
decisions.”

◎ “Don’t sacrifice what matters most for something that

doesn’t matter that much to you. There are always
trade-offs”
29
“It's not about making the right
choice.
It's about making a choice and
making it right.”
― J.R. Rim

30
◎ “Decision making and problem
solving are not the same. To
solve a problem, one needs to
find a solution. To make a
decision, one needs to make a
choice.” Michael J. Marx
