Decision Making: Ineffective
Suggestions to Start
1. Decision making conjures up many different thoughts of “Does somebody know how to make a decision or are they nervous about making a mistake? Or do they have something in their past that really prompts them to have anxiety associated with making decisions?” The key is to truly understand why somebody is ineffective. 2. After gaining this understanding, create three to four case studies you can send to the person(s) you’re coaching specific to their job. Create them in a hypothetical sense yet as real world as you possibly can and ask them to detail what they would do to make their decision and what their final decision might look like. This will provide incredible insight to their critical thinking and process.
More Aggressive Suggestions
1. Find a mentor of somebody who exhibits the attributes of effective decision making specific to the gaps the person(s) you are coaching. For example, if someone is lacking confidence because they have a fear of making mistakes, find someone who’s willing to mentor who has made mistakes yet can also frame it in a way that allows the person to realize making decisions is never 100%foolproof. 2. After finding a mentor, have this person journal what they’re learning from their mentoring sessions and to send you biweekly or monthly summations of what they’ve learned and what they’ve successfully put into action.
