Deciisions on corrrective actions to meet the set objective , Decisions on resource utilization to exceed objectivies are two key decisions
The decisions concerning assistants matters e.g. promotion, training courses, conferences ...etc.
I beleive in a Democratic leadership style, so most decisions are made on the basis of different opinions and factors resulting in the best possible and profitable outcome.
Unless its coffee beans. I dont need any opinions on changing the brand on coffee beans. I like turkish coffee beans, so the employees will have to wither adjust to the taste or get a take away starbucks.
Thanks for invitation,
Unless the subject is private and confidential, I do my best to share my assistants in all decisions.
Thanks
Most of decisions I prefer to refer it to my assistants, few of them I will get it by myself such decisions related to ( warnings, internal policies, ....)
As a manager of a team I will be making all decision (major, minor, indiviual and group) after consulting my team as I believe in working as a unit, and every opinion counts.
Thank you for the invitation.
Decision making is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions. Using a step-by-step decision-making process can help you make more deliberate, thoughtful decisions by organizing relevant information and defining alternatives.
5 Steps to Good Decision Making
Decision Making Styles: Directive, Analytical, Conceptual and Behavioural. Every leader prefers a different way to contemplate a decision.
The four styles of decision making are directive, analytical, conceptual and behavioural.
Each style is a different method of weighing alternatives and examining solutions.
The following are the main types of decisions every organization need to take:
Programmed Decision:
A decision made in business sometimes comes easily to a manager because it relates to a situation encountered before; this is a programmed decision.
Un-programmed Decision: using Logic
When a manager faces uncertainty and there is a higher level of risk involved regarding a decision, he must make an un-programmed decision using logic.
Organizational Decision Levels.
Generally there are two levels of decisions in an organization. The first are strategic decisions. These decisions are broad in scope and long-term in nature.
Rational decision making
It is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. The process of rational decision making favours logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. The word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
Irrational Decisions:
Irrationality is cognition, thinking, talking, or acting without inclusion of rationality. It is more specifically described as an action or opinion given through inadequate use of reason, or through emotional distress or cognitive deficiency. Lack of empathy cause conflicts within the team and culture differences evolve. It also causes hurt among the members and motivation is affected in the long run.
Routine decisions regarding:
1. Task or work load to be distributed on a weekly basis and the weekly meeting with the team when work is done, warning if any as and when needed for discipline in the team and in work.
2. To find the status of the task and the way it was delivered and achieved.
3. One-to-one with the team for twenty minutes to find out what their difficulties were and what was achieved with ease,
4. Follow-up on their needs, If they needed any training or mentorship on any issues,
5. Weekly and monthly shift allocations for permanent staff.
6. Contract workers with hours of work when needed.
7. Reports of any incident and on the floor during work and action to be taken.
Team update reports and summary of the work undertaken to be covered by a member of the team for information to the management.
For the team success and the individual to achieve harmony within their teams, each one has to consider the other person and respect them. Hence it is important for skills to be put in the right perspective and for good conduct to be maintained in the team. Regular checks on the team behaviour towards one another done through a person within the team (update to the manager and a decision taken for mis-conduct if any).
A Professional attitude is to be maintained always to have success of self and the company. Also self-esteem and confidence grows to communicate effectively with members of the team during work and on the floor. Targets are maintained with good decisions on the part of the manager or leader.
