Introduction
Decision making key skill is a powerful tool that determines how one could be an effective leader in the workplace and in daily life activities. Any human being comes through different stages of life, like a student getting admission in the college, the student appearing in the examination, individual called for an interview and candidate personal interview in MNC and involvement in social system. With this, decision making skill plays an important role in its simplest sense, it means act of choosing the course of actions that may be more than two. White (2018) In its wider sense, it means to choose the possible solution.
Example of decision making, how was it done and concluded
The decision making is an integral part of the life process where one has to choose the best available solution in the life. Beginning with the planning phase to the end of the controlling of the situation, the personal decision making skills makes an impact in our daily life activities.
Example and concluded
For example, I might have to hire the bus or taxi to attend the seminar, but in case I reached late at bus stand, and there was no taxi available there, then I should have a rationale decision like to hire the vehicle present thereby even it may cost more. Jacklin, Maskrey amp Chapman (2018)
For example, when I have already faced diesel end situation while moving to some urgent place, then if I counters the same problem, I can easily tackle with it. Next is analytical , it is entirely based on the reasoning and when any being applies reasoning in life, then surely he gets out of the trouble one faces in life. Next is conceptual on the basis of some of the concept where the decision should be taken. Finally, it is behavioral style and with this style, your behavior matters the most. For example, if I gets hurt in minor accident, then it is behavior of mine who attracts the stand by people more.
A student who gets gold-medal is definitely having a positive reflection to the society, but it never means that one who got the least marks has negative reflection to his own self and society.
The bargaining may took place for two to three minutes not more than this because ultimately one has to attend the seminar in the right time. Thereafter, one is not allowed to make entry after a specific point of time. Decision making skills depends on certain factors like time management, planning, organizing and controlling. The skills applied in the decision making is intuition or to comprehend something without applying the logic and reasoning. It is the first meet condition and skill for the effective decision making process. Next, is the ability to predict about the consequences that will occur in the daily life For example, if you are to attend a coaching class and you are not getting any transport, then both first criteria should meet to an end like intuition and consequences is to be applied. When the vehicle is not present there, then consequence might be that late entrance is not given. So, one is required to have this effective skill to be applied. Self reflection is another skill that is applied in the decision making power. For example, one should be able to identify the self skills and importance should be given to the way how a good personality reflects on our decision making. It is the personality development that reflects the same.
Tactic and strategically decisions should be taken. While considering this example where an audit officer was to reach out office at 9 am and he departed from home at 8 am and it takes hardly 45 minutes to reach office by car, but the diesel was low in the car and he could not make it. Then he needs to strategically need to apply the solution and the consequences of it, as the meeting was to be attended and headed by him. He should have to sooner find the solution to the problem arising there.
Styles in the decision making
There are four styles that should be approached like directive, analytical, conceptual and behavioral. The first approach should be like that gives transfer of wisdom and how the wisdom is applied in the daily life and the problems that comes. It is fairly a traditional approach as mentoring of it is most important. It is based on the experience that one has in its own life.
Impact of above examples in life and decision to be taken in futureThese entire incidences have some or the other impact on the life. The one thing that I learnt and come to the conclusion is that despite I face and counter many problems, with time I will get change in our life. This change and desire to change is two different things. The former relates to the experience that one has in his life. Harrington, Kavanagh, Quinlan, Ryan, Dicker, OKeeffe, Traynor amp Tierney (2018) For example, it is we who determines our actions and it has positive and negative reflection on the basis of it. So, the most impact we derive in our life is both from negative situations and positive situation. It depends on how hard working we are. While considering to different approaches and meditating on these approaches, one will come to know that the decisions were rightly taken but they need to be improved a bit. It is because, the human is to err and error comes in the life of any being. It is not that someone is perfect he might be perfect in his field but not necessarily everywhere. If you want to see the approaches then the best approach is this example, where as a Professor one requires to teach very well and in any case, if he misses the class, then student will adopt negative approach if it is during the exam time. If not during the exam time, they will not adopt any approach and they remain neutral behavior. So, all these decisions have an impact on the future of anyone.
Academic theory on decision making skillsLeadership decision making theory (LDM) states that it is a dynamic process where choose the best from the alternative options. This theory works on some principle that is necessary to understand the product life cycle. Decision theory works on the following aspect
Philosophy
Mathematics
Statistics and
Psychology
Identification and evaluation of the processThe identification and evaluation of the process depends on the facts like how organized mind one is and how one tackles the problems in life. There is not a single day in anyones life that they do not come across problems in life. Ghasemaghaei, Ebrahimi amp Hassanein (2018) It is an inherent human nature to face the problems. So, the identification should be done by organizing effect and evaluation should be made on the basis of what one has learnt and experienced in the life.
However, if the decisions that were taken were not perfectly right, then we can choose to change it. For example, in case I can walk directly to reach the taxi stand is not a successful idea, then one should change this approach and they should carry on the right path by using the technical approach. This technical approach says to either reach earlier or to inform some of your friend to come and pick you. In any case, the decision skill is only going to make an impact on the life. For example, calling the friend and travelling the distance with bike is good idea and it should be followed in any situation like this.
