FOUR STYLES OF DICISION MAKING

DIRECTIVE DICISION
ANALYTIC DICISION
CONCEPTUAL DICISION
BEHAVIORAL DICISION
DIRECTIVE DICISION MAKING!
usually a policy decision maker sorts out the pros and cons of a
situation based on what they already know.
Decision makes in the directive are very rational and have little
tolerance for uncertainty.
Instead of going to others for more detail, their decisions are rooted in
their own intelligence, experience and reasoning.
The upside to this style is that decision making is fast,ownership is
transparent, and no extra communication is needed.
Often, however, directive decision can be taken impulsively, without
all the necessary details.
ANALYTIC DECISION MAKING

before taking action, strategic decision makers analyze a lot a

details.
Analytic leaders, for example, rely on direct observation, data,
and facts to back their decisions.
Like decision makers in the guideline, however, an analytic decision
maker may seek information and advice from others to affirm or
refute their own expertise.
These decision makers have a high degree of uncertainty tolerance
and are extremely adaptable but they prefer to monitor certain aspects
of the decision process.
This style is a well rounded decision making strategy that can be time
consuming.
CONCEPTUAL DICISION
MAKING
compared with the guideline or empirical approaches, the relational decision
making process takes a more collaborative approach.
Conceptual decision makers promote innovation thinking and teamwork
and take a wide variety of viewpoints into consideration.
These decision makers are based on success and want to look well into the
future when it comes to making critical decisions
BEHAVIORAL DICISION MAKING
behavioral decision seek to make sure that everyone is working together
well.
Like the conceptual method, behavioral decision is group oriented;
however, the community is given the choices available to them, rather
than brainstorming alternative solutions.
From there the community will discuss each choice’s pros and cons.
This decision making method takes into account several different
viewpoints and views in the proces.
