Product Description
We've all been there: with options aplenty, it's hard, if not impossible, for anyone to decide WHAT to do. There are times when it seems impossible even to think about HOW to make a decision. Michael Finley, who researches and writes about a host of topics relating to culture and change, says there are seven basic ways to make up your mind. In this document, he covers these seven approaches: consensus, majority rule, minority rule, averaging, expert opinion, authority rule without discussion, and authority rule with discussion. Finley makes a key point toward the end of his discussion of decision making: "The important thing is that the group understands, in advance, what decision-making method will be used. The worst thing a leader can do is spring a surprise on the group." This e-Doc is published by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission.
