About this title

Synopsis

A practical, results-driven approach to decision making, detailing a strategy made up of five readily identifiable styles: decisive, flexible, hierarchic, integrative, and systemic. Shows how knowing which style works best--and being able to consciously move from one style to the next--can improve performance, career opportunities, and personal and organizational effectiveness. Reveals how to identify these decision styles both in oneself and in supervisors, direct reports, and peers. Shows how to adapt and develop appropriate styles for the range of situations managers confront daily--from handling routine business transactions to dealing with crisis situations.
