Introduction
Decision Making and Problem Solving are key to leadership development and crucial to the success of any business. Both are closely linked, and each requires creativity in identifying and developing options. Good decision-making requires a mixture of skills: creative development and identification of options, clarity of judgement, firmness of decision, and effective implementation.
Training Benefits
This training is designed to make a noticeable difference to how managers lead and communicate with their teams resulting in an organised approach to problem solving and decision making becoming deeply embedded and practised. Each participant will learn practical skills needed to achieve specific decision making and problem solving objectives and the tools, processes and techniques necessary to implement these.
Participants will be shown how to become “on the job” leaders and learn how each new skill-set requires a particular attitude and perception to allow decision making and problem solving function successfully from beginning to end.
Methodology
Training is designed to help participants practice the skills and processes taught under a variety of real-life, work related scenarios. This enables a full spectrum of problem solving and decision making skills to be understood and embedded as part of each participant’s holistic leadership development.
Templates and processes such as SWOT, VAK, SMART, goal planning and planners and more will allow participants to become better organised, knowledgeable, confident and assertive when making decisions and problem solving.
Action Planning will also enable what has been trained and practised to be better embedded and serve as a regular reminder for change and improvement that needs to continue.
