What is Decision Making?
Decision-making
involves choosing between possible solutions to a problem. Decisions can
be made through either an intuitive or reasoned process,
or a combination
of the two.
Intuition
Intuition is actually a combination
of past experience and your personal values. It is worth taking your intuition
into account, because it reflects your learning about life. It is not always
based on reality, only our perceptions.
Reasoning
Reasoning is using the facts and figures
in front of us to make decisions. It
can, ignore emotional aspects to the decision.
Intuition is
a perfectly acceptable means of making a decision, although it is generally
more appropriate when the decision is of a simple nature or needs to be made
quickly.
Applying Both
Reason and Intuition
More
complicated decisions tend to require a more formal, structured approach,
usually involving both intuition and reasoning. It is important to be wary
of impulsive reactions to a situation
.
Five Different Types of Decision Making
Skills:
1. Intuitive
Intuitive
is one of the simplest, and arguably one of the most common ways to make a
decision. It should be noted that it is not always the best way. Intuitive
decision making involves relying on the decision that feels right, without
necessarily thinking about the logic that goes into that choice.
2. Rational
Rational
decision making is the act of using logic to determine what is best, by
reviewing all possible options and then evaluating each option using logic and
rationality.
3. Satisficing
Satisficing
is accepting the one that is satisfactory for the needs. It means you may miss
out on better options.
4. Collaborative
Collaborative
is an another method rather than make a decision ourself, we collaborate in
some way to make the decision. An example might include meeting with others to
get their input, voting on the final decision
5. Combination
using
a combination of all these different types of decision making styles.
