How to Make Successful Decisions
How can you enhance your decision-making ability?
Publication Date: April 2023
How decisive we are has the most profound impact on our personal, professional, and commercial success. But what does it mean to be decisive? Each of us approach decisions in a different way, depending on our preferences.
Having worked extensively with leaders and executives, we have seen them increasingly looking for ways to collaborate with their teams and create a sense of ownership for the challenges and changes that they are facing. This research was consequently conducted to help people in business understand how the way they make decisions as a leader or colleague can influence their team, their success, and their impact.
Our intention was to find a simple way of defining and describing people’s decision-making preferences. We achieved this by researching, designing, and validating a model of decision making that is assessed using the BeTalent Decision Styles Questionnaire, which was verified by the British Psychological Society in 2022. We hope you find this white paper, our research, and the BeTalent Decision Styles Questionnaire useful to enable greater strategies for accountability, psychological safety, decision-making, and success within your organisation.
