Calgary, AB, Organizational leadership is faced with new economic challenges and political uncertainty in the new business environment. This creates problems in decision making for many professionals. Indecision is the worst business skill for leaders. Star-Ting Incorporated uses the Modular Skills Package System to help executives gain leadership skills for their decision making process.
How are good decisions determined? Loreen Sherman, the creator of the Modular Skills Packages recognizes that many elements are involved in the decision making process, ranging from understanding the problem to create a solution. She reveals 6 questions that the decision maker should ask:
1) What is the 'root' problem?
2) Who is involved in the conflict?
3) How can the problem be solved in relation to (a) expense; (b) facilities and resources; and (c) time?
4) How much will it cost to implement the solution today vs if the solution is implemented 1 year, 5 years or 10 years from now?
5) How will the change effect the internal organization and in relationship to outsiders?
6) What evaluation measurements and indicators will determine the success of this decision?
According to Loreen Sherman, a business expert specializing in organizational leadership, says, "the worst business skill is for a leader to be uncertain." Decision making is critical for the business success of present and future operations. She has taught managerial decision making internationally and knows that the reluctance to make decisions is usually caused by the fear of failure.
Modular Skills Packages (
http://www.star-tingpublishing.com) are designed to give an industry overview of specific leadership skills. The concise knowledge is packaged into bite-sized pieces that equip the professional with current information on a particular subject matter. These convenient packages decrease unnecessary money and time; instead of having to undergo hours in a managerial program the information from each Modular Skills Package supplies immediate take-aways.
Decision making is an art and can be learned with specific steps and various strategies. Leaders must have confidence in their decision making process.
For example, when a decision maker learns to make decisions based on compiling answers to the six questions he/she will have tools to use for effective decisions. This creates confidence and certainty instead of uncertainty in the decision making process. One tool Star-Ting Incorporated recommends to use to help reduce the indecision in the decision making process is their benchmark tool found in the Leadership Skills - Modular Skills Package. Industry indicators, benchmarking continuums and advanced benchmarking techniques help leaders learn how to identify the root issue which allows them to see the different elements in the problem. Organizational leadership can face these new economic challenges with decision making tools.
