Deciding How to Decide Workshop
Description
Many leaders come to their role with a variety of influences on their decision-making style – some feel that making unpopular or controversial decisions on their own is a way of supporting and shielding others, some feel that allowing all decisions to be made democratically by the grassroots is a way of empowering those they lead…and what research actually shows is…it depends. Having a framework for a full spectrum of decision-making models, from autocratic to delegated and everything in-between, can be useful for anyone who must make decisions on a regular basis. In one hour, we will name decision making styles and look at a model developed for leaders to determine the optimal style for any given situation, with time to practice in small groups.
Objectives
- Introduce the spectrum of decision-making styles, from fully autocratic to entirely delegated to a group.
- Understand the situational components that indicate which decision-making style will lead to an optimal decision – one that maximizes both quality of decision and group commitment.
- Practice applying the Vroom-Yetton-Jago model to participant examples
Target Audience
Any faculty member with decision making responsibilities for a team or larger group. Particularly: anyone who feels concerned about adequate “buy-in” from stakeholders, their own authority in executing change, and/or whether they are making the “right” or “best” decisions on behalf of the teams they lead.
Facilitation
This compact 1-hour online workshop will be presented by Ms. Shana Ross, faculty development consultant to the FoMD.
