Decisions are at the core of every success story and every personal triumph. Isn’t it crazy then to think that most of our tools for making good decisions only include asking for advice, making pros and cons lists, or the trial and error approach? My goal is to help people make empowered decisions, and a place to start is helping them understand the strengths & weaknesses of their decision-making tendencies. Learn the 4 styles of decision making in this episode!
BIG LIFE DECISIONS CAN BE VERY EMOTIONAL AND STRESS-INDUCING.
Often, it feels like big decisions, primarily related to our careers, will either make or break our future success.
THAT LEADS TO SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PRESSURE.
While some people may perform well under pressure, pressure doesn't help anyone navigate the decision-making process better.
Whether you're considering making a career change, starting a new passion project or relocating, learning more about what's happening behind-the-scenes as you process a decision will help you gain more control and clarity in times of uncertainty.
Most decision-making resources and tools focus on group decision making. For example, how to make decisions from a corporate leadership perspective. While you can undoubtedly glean information about how to make decisions for yourself from those models, I wanted to provide a more accessible tool to help you confidently process the choices that impact your personal life most.
WHAT ARE THE FOUR STYLES OF DECISION MAKING?
You can think of decision-making styles as something similar to personality types. If you love the Enneagram or the Myers Briggs personality tests, then you're apt to love this as well. However, I do want to clarify that this is not a personality test.
Instead, it is a tool to give you insight into how you process your decisions. The goal is to help you recognize your strengths and weaknesses so that you can become a stronger, more confident decision maker.
The four decision-making styles include:
Analytical
Directive
Conceptual
Behavioral
