Personal Decision making
I have to admit that when it comes to the four stages of decision making I am
much more of a conventional thinker than I am a integrative thinker. Martin
tells us how successful leaders are ablet to use integrative thinking throughout
the decision making stages, so in order to be a great leader I will need to
learn to think integratively instead of conventionally. This means that I can no
longer only look at the obvious relevant factors when determining salince. I
need to also seek the not so obvious factors that potential to be relevant so
that I can see the whole picture. I will also need to stop thinking of causation
as a linear only function. Many factors can affect each other in many more ways
than just one, and those relationships are a lot more complex than one factor
implies another, and I need to realize that in my decision making process. One aspect of the decision making process that I am able to do effectively is envision the decision architecture. I am able to look at all of the factors a whole, which enables me to think about how they will all react with one another when certain decisions are made, and based on that I am able to achieve a resolution more integratively than conventionally. Being able to look at everything as a whole, rather than pieces, I can creatively resolve tensions, and come up with innovative outcomes instead of either or choices. Overall I guess I had no idea that I made decisions so ineffeciently. I will really have to motivate myself to better fine tune my decision making skills in order to become a much greater decision maker. I can do this be continuously reminding myself that these elements are present, and force myself to think about the more complex side of decisions, instead of just simplifying everything.
