Training Course Overview

**Decision Making** is a sophisticated and distinctly human skill that aims to guide organizations, teams, and individuals toward a more successful and productive future. Whether decisions are reached through a structured, logical process or through creative and imaginative methods, there is no doubt that decision making is a fundamental leadership competency. Decisive leaders distinguish themselves from others!

Although the ultimate responsibility for decisions lies with the leader, we live in an era that values debate, diverse opinions, and the concept of “collective wisdom.” Therefore, it is crucial for leaders to foster an environment that not only encourages contributions from all team members but also cultivates decision-making techniques that minimize bias and achieve successful results. Leaders are now seen as the “architects” of systems that support effective decision making.

This dynamic Anderson programme provides an in-depth exploration of the decision-making process, from diagnosing problems to designing solutions. It emphasizes the leader’s role as a “decision-making architect” while examining the psychological, cognitive, and emotional factors that can either enhance or hinder the decision-making process. Participants will gain a wide array of tools and techniques to build personal confidence, achieve productive organizational outcomes, and facilitate activities that promote engagement and drive innovation.
