“Your
decision-making process is OK. You have a good understanding of the basics, but
now you need to improve your process and be more proactive. Concentrate on
finding lots of options and discovering as many risks and consequences as you
can. The better your analysis, the better your decision will be in the long
term. Focus specifically on the areas where you lost points, and develop a
system that will work for you across a wide variety of situations. (Read below
to start)” (mindtools.com). I agreed with the result because I do understand
the basic of decision-making but not the depth of decision-making since I tend
to react with my decision-making after it happen. I think because I tend to
feel stressed or anxiety while I had to think with many decisions in one time.
Anxiety
can interrupt my decision-making by influencing my behavior and thoughts to
make a choice to decide. There are great tips to prevent anxiety such as
strengthen your brain against anxiety, understand where the anxiety is really
coming from, slow it down, don’t buy into the idea that thoughts, feelings and
behavior are a package which they are not, act as if, just because there are
choices, which doesn’t mean there is a wrong one, and be guided by what you
want, rather than by what you want to avoid. I think I am not used with decision-making
that often lately but I know we do make many decisions by waking up to decide
to wake up or continuous to sleep more.
I
had many situations with my neighbors for almost three years and I had to think
many decision-making with my husband which I think more anxiety comes worse.
Now I found this resource and I realized that I need to slow it down and act as
it is. I thank for this course to open my mind about decision-making to help me
develop my skills to be in the manager or leader position.
My
strength with score interpretation is evaluating alternatives with score eleven
out of fifteen, deciding with score ten out of fifteen, and checking the
decision. My scores are pretty close with actual scores which I know that I am
good at deciding because I always think every day to decision on how my
schedule flows for my homework, job, housewife, and day off. Evaluating
alternatives is something that I am surprise because sometimes I think my
decisions is far from great. I know that my decisions will be not a hundred
percent right but sometimes it helps with my result that I did to made myself
feel good.
I
realize that I need to learn more because my weakness with score interpretation
such as establishing a positive decision-making environment, generating
potential solutions, and communicating and implementing. One problem is that I
am deaf and I think it is tough for my team and I can communicate to have a
decision-making but we do communicate through paper and pen or texting. I know
that is a bad excuse that I am deaf but it’s true since it’s frustrated for me
to communicate with my team or customers because they don’t have the awareness
and knowledge of my deaf culture. I found the resource with good tips if they
read and understand then I can improve with my decision-making skills in the
group or meeting with my team. “Among the more popular tips in the book are: to
pay a lot more attention to other people's body language. Learning to listen
with your eyes, like deaf people, can help you improve your memory, he said. To
speak one at a time and without interrupting others, and resolve any conflicts
one at a time. Be both simple and precise in how you convey information. This
is something that hearing people have a hard time doing, said Dr. Kahne. When
hearing people try to be simple, they are automatically vague. When they try to
be precise, they suddenly become complex. Dare to ask questions. Hearing people
tend to stop asking questions around the age of five, believing that asking
questions shows inferiority, weakness or incompetence. Not so with deaf people.
Use visual words and stories to help convey specific messages or answer
questions” (Cradden, 2014, www.independent.ie).
I decided to choose laissez-faire leadership
style because other leadership styles are involved with communication, charisma,
authentic, and motivate team members. I feel that I have limitation with
communication, integrity, creative, and will give a lot of freedom. If I work
with deaf people or people who know American sign language then it will be a
different story. Laissez-faire: leaders give their team members a lot of
freedom in how they do their work, and how they set their deadlines. They
provide support with resources and
advice if needed, but otherwise they don't get involved. This autonomy can lead
to high job satisfaction, but it can be damaging if team members don't manage
their time well, or if they don't have the knowledge, skills, or self
motivation to do their work effectively. (Laissez-faire leadership can also
occur when managers don't have control over their work and their people.) I
want to improve my leadership style since I dislike the part about giving a lot
of freedom because I require the communicate with my team about the details for
deadline or making sure that we are on same page, etc.
