15. Developing
Decision-Making
Skills
Developing leaders to become better decision
makers is a major challenge. Here are a few
ways to build decision-making skills:
•Secondment: experience in diverse organizational roles, such as international
assignments. This broadens the exposure of leaders to other environments,
which expands their knowledge and understanding, leading to more informed
decision making.
•Mentoring: access to a more senior leader who can guide, advise, and
recommend a leader in decision making.
•Shadowing: working alongside another leader in an unfamiliar role to add
learning and understanding of different roles and responsibilities.
•Case studies: practicing decision making using a classroom scenario and
receiving feedback from experts on the quality of decision making
.
•Projects: tackling a specific assignment that requires collaboration and action to
develop decision-making behaviors
•Learning: expanding the cognitive and emotional intelligence of leaders through
formal and informal learning.
•Methodologies: establishing formal methodologies such as project
management, change management, and strategic planning can all lead to better,
more collaborative decision making.

16. Development Tools
In addition to the activity-based initiatives
outlined in the list above, Chip and Dan
Heath provide a helpful pneumonic
in Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in
Life and Work (2013), that can help leaders
become better decision makers: WRAP.
•Widen Your Options: encounter a choice. Narrow
framing can make you miss options (unduly limiting
the options considered).
•Reality-Test Your Assumptions: analyze your
options. Confirmation bias can lead you to gather
self-serving info (information that bolsters beliefs).
•Attain Distance Before Deciding: make a choice.
Short-term emotion can often tempt you to make
the wrong one (being swayed by emotions that will
fade).
•Prepare to Be Wrong: live with it. You’ll often be
over-confident about how the future will unfold
(too much faith in our predictions).
